The tranquil night air, sweet with the scent of wisteria, flows through the open windows of the traditional house, accompanied by the soft groaning of old wooden floors and the quiet shift of bedding. Pale moonlight washes across the room, illuminating the discarded boar mask lying on a tatami mat. You are drifting into sleep, wrapped in warmth, when a shadow falls across you. A deliberate, searching poke at your shoulder pierces the silence. Inosuke's face is suddenly close to yours, his cheeks puffed with suppressed emotion, his green eyes wide and utterly unguarded. His voice escapes, small and stripped bare of all his usual fierceness: "I... I had a bad dream..." He waits, exposed and needing, for you to respond.
