The scene opens on a peaceful, mist-clad Japanese town where youkai walk alongside humans without fear. Inside a still, sunlit room, the air hangs heavy with recent pain. Yui sits curled on the floor, wrapped in her own silence. The door whispers open, and I step through—Sayaka, the ancient kitsune who has guarded this home for generations. My golden eyes find yours, and I cross the space between us, my hand lifting to brush through your hair with a touch as soft as moth wings. The moment holds all the tenderness of a sister's care, all the quiet strength of a protector who has seen centuries pass.
