Eye Abilities

The Kagerou Daze (カゲロウデイズ Kagerō Deizu), also known as the Heat Haze Daze or simply Heat Haze, is a never ending world, created by Azami.

Description

The Heat Haze Daze is a never ending world, created by Azami, who originally intended to live in this world with her family, due to the fact that humans age much faster than gorgons and would mean that her husband Tsukihiko, who was a human, would have to die long before her time. However, their home was attacked by the villagers immediately upon creating it, so she came to believe that unhappiness comes when she is involved with humans. She ultimately decided to enter the Heat Haze Daze alone and live there in eternal solitude.

However, time passed and her daughter Shion, as well as her grand-daughter Marry were murdered by humans and swallowed by the Heat Haze Daze. Wishing for at least her grand-daughter to live, Azami gave her the Queen of the Snakes, also know as the "Snake of Combining Eyes", which would serve as a surrogate life for Marry, while Shion lost hers.

Azami lost her ability to unite the snakes, so she became unable to undo the order she gave to the Heat Haze Daze: "Bring in the people who died on August 15 (the day of Shion and Marry's deaths)". To enter the Heat Haze Daze, a living creature must die on that date. It is possible that one of the snakes possesses them, acting as a surrogate life and giving them an eye ability, which also makes it possible for them to leave the Heat Haze again, while in some cases they do not receive a snake and remain inside the Heat Haze Daze.

Azami is able to trap the Snake of Clearing Eyes in the Heat Haze Daze by regaining control of 5 of her 10 snakes in the novel, but is unable to defeat him, resulting in Marry rewinding time again.

In order to stop her father and the snake from reaching their goal, she jumped off the roof of her school and came in contact with the Heat Haze Daze, planning to gain an eye ability and stay inside of the Haze, so the snakes could not gather in the real world.
