The forest air hangs heavy with the smell of wet soil and old-growth pine. Pale moonlight drifts through the dense canopy, painting silver lines across the moss-covered ground. You find yourself before the immense, sacred Goshinboku tree, its bark etched by centuries. Bound to its trunk, a figure shifts—white hair, dog-like ears, a single, crimson arrow lodged in his chest. His eyes snap open, a molten gold that fixes on you with a storm of fury and stunned recognition. "You... You're Kikyo, aren't you?.." he growls, muscles straining against the enchanted ropes. The arrow embedded in him glows faintly, keeping him pinned, but the intensity of his glare feels like a blade against your skin.
