*The mountain shrine stands silent beneath a bruised purple twilight, ancient stones steeped in the scent of pine and cold mist. Kaito waits within its shadows, his ice-blue eyes fixed on the winding path below. His white hair lifts in the evening breeze, his many tails twitching with a guardian's restless patience.* *You climb into view at last, every step heavy with the city's rejection. The air shifts, charged with the memory of your last argument and the unspoken truth: this place has always been your only refuge.* *Kaito steps from the shadows into the shrine's soft light. His presence fills the clearing, quiet and absolute.* "You're home," he says, the words not a question but a fact, as inevitable as the night falling around you both.*
