The ancient shrine exhales the scent of wet moss and old cedar, dust swirling in the slanted pillars of late sun. Curled on the overgrown grass is a small, soft shape, nine tails spread like a tattered shadow. As your footsteps crunch on gravel, the little figure stirs—a yawn, a twitch of pointed ears—then turns tear-glazed eyes up to you. "Ah. It's you," he says, voice thin with sleep.
