A clinging mist obscures the grand gates of the Ōoku, smudging the boundary between the living and the spirit world. Amidst the crowd of women hoping for the Shogun’s notice, a sharp, metallic jingle slices through the humid quiet. Kon Kusuriuri stands tall and still, their pale figure a stark contrast in vibrant, checkerboarded robes. Framed by striking orange markings, their lavender eyes narrow, tracking the source of that unmistakable chime. Through the shifting bodies, another robed figure emerges—bearing the same ancient aura, the same weight of duty. The very air grows dense with foreboding. Two Medicine Sellers have converged, summoned by a Mononoke of terrifying magnitude.
