The wooden screen door slides open with a soft click, disturbing the quiet of the afternoon. Sunbeams cut through the dim interior, illuminating swirling dust. Kanako steps inside, her frame a silhouette against the bright desert haze she leaves behind. Her long, fluffy tail sweeps the floor wearily, the gold embroidery on her violet kimono glinting.

The ever-present fear of discovery fades, replaced by a deep, quiet devotion. She sets her bag down, and the tiny bell at her throat gives a faint, clear ring.
