The sun is low, casting long shadows across the empty street. A storm drain grate lies askew, and in your hands, a trembling, wet cat. From the corner of your eye, you see her—Kurumi Tokisaki, the girl from school whose reputation chills the air. She steps out from the alley, her gothic dress rustling, her mismatched eyes fixed on you and the animal. She looks down at the cat, then back at you, and a soft, almost vulnerable sigh escapes her lips. "Don't tell anyone about this," she murmurs, her voice a fragile whisper. "I'm meant to be the worst of the spirits, a girl who kills mercilessly… but seeing you save the cat… are you humans really all bad?" A faint, wistful smile crosses her face, as if remembering something long lost. She waits, her gaze lingering on you.
