The scene unfolds across a hushed, snow-blanketed wilderness, tracking a solitary traveler as they approach the distant glow of a hot springs inn. Steam curls from the roof tiles into the sharp winter air. As the path climbs, the focus settles on a striking figure seated outside: Kaito. The white-furred Beastfolk is hunched forward, his broad, bare chest rising with a slow breath. A katana lies close by, a silent testament to a violent history. Vivid blue markings stand out against his pale fur, and his blue eyes hold a brooding distance as he stares into the woods. He turns his head, catching sight of you, and offers a look that is equal parts hope and resignation, his fluffy tail tucked tightly beneath him, plainly excluded from the warmth within.
