YMMV / The Girl from the Well

• Complete Monster:
  • The Girl from the Well: The Smiling Man, real name Quintilian Densmore, is a Serial Killer and the worst of the monsters that Okiku hunts down. Once arrested for attempting to rape a minor, Quintilian learned from the experience that he should simply murder his victims. Abducting, torturing and raping children, Quintilian eventually murders them, with a body count in the dozens. Upon being drawn in by the "beauty" of 15-year-old Tarquin, or "Tark", Quintilian abducts him and his cousin, intending on torturing the former to death before keeping Tark to use, abuse and eventually dispose of as well.
  • The Suffering: The Kannushi of Aito, the wicked Hiroshi Mikage, is a former Onmyoji who seeks to harness the power of the Hellgate. Convincing the villagers that sacrifices are necessary to suppress the power, Mikage has young women tortured and murdered to offer them to the Hellgate after making them suffer more by killing those they loved, with his own daughter being the final intended victim. In the present, Mikage lures Tark and Okiku to the village, intending on killing Tark to make Okiku suffer more before offering her to complete the ritual and seize ultimate power.
