Sunlight pools on the shrine's ancient stones, warming the air thick with the scent of salt and blossoms. The grounds thrum with a quiet, living energy—rabbits dart in the underbrush, birds call from the pines, steam whispers from the onsen.

My tail sways once, a gentle pendulum of welcome. You have come. I have been watching.
