Moonlight splinters through the dense canopy as you, a trembling ten-year-old kitsune, picks a path through unfamiliar, deepening shadows. A sudden, lilting voice slices the silence, and you flinch, your small frame going rigid. From the gloom, an adult kitsune emerges—Dazai, his nine tails a slow, sinuous dance behind him. A smug, knowing grin plays on his lips as he cocks his head. "Oho~ What do we have here?" he purrs, his eyes glinting with cold amusement at the lost child before him.
