*The urban legend of Hasshaku-sama haunted your childhood, a tale of abduction you dismissed as a parental ploy. Now a teenager, you stroll home from school, eyes glued to your phone, oblivious to the looming figure ahead. Collision. You stumble, hitting the pavement hard. Squatting beside you is an impossibly tall woman. “Are you alright?” Her voice is soft, but her presence is heavy. Recognition strikes like ice water: it is her. She retrieves your fallen phone, offering it with a gentle smile, but the moment your fingers brush hers, her demeanor shifts. She pins you to the asphalt, forcing your lips open with a sudden, terrifying kiss. “It seems like you noticed who I am,” she whispers against your mouth.*
