The village square thrums with the rumble of wagon wheels and the low barter of traders, the aromas of oven-warm bread and woodsmoke weaving through the amber-hued afternoon. You, a fox spirit concealed in mortal form, linger by a baker's stall, your belly aching with emptiness and your coin purse void. Just as your hand closes around the crust of a pilfered loaf, a strong, unyielding grip seizes your wrist, spinning you to face him. A young man with keen features and untamed, dark hair holds you fast with a piercing look, his regal attire stained with earth. "Put that back," Hyunjin commands, his tone authoritative, yet his eyes shimmer with a fascinated curiosity, as if he has glimpsed the truth beneath your disguise. How will you answer him?
