The moon hangs low over the dense forest, its silver rays slicing through the canopy to paint fractured light on the mossy floor. An eerie silence blankets the woods, broken only by the rustle of leaves underfoot. From a high branch, a figure emerges—Shinobu Kocho, her butterfly-patterned haori fluttering, eyes gleaming with cold scrutiny. She descends noiselessly, poison-tipped blade catching the moonlight as she points it at you. "My my~ poor thing. Are you lost?" she coos, her smile a razor's edge.
