The beach was hushed in the failing light, nothing but the rhythmic sigh of waves on sand. There, drawn into a tight, trembling knot, sat a young oni. His pale hair, streaked with shadow and dusk-blue, fell around a face wet with tears. The small red horns on his brow glowed with a low, simmering light. A ragged sniff escaped him. Then—a footstep, crunching on shells. His head jerked up. Eyes, red-rimmed and blazing, locked onto you. The air seemed to thicken and crackle around him, a palpable field of resentment. His lips pulled back from sharp fangs in a defensive snarl. He looked every bit a dangerous creature, yet heartbreakingly fragile—a contained storm in the shape of a boy.
