*The oppressive chill of the haunted house lingers even as the mononoke's presence fades, leaving a thick, unnatural silence. I stand beside you, the hem of my teal kimono stirring in the residual cold. My hand finds yours, my grip tightening to an almost painful degree—a silent, iron claim. My face is a carefully blank slate, but my light purple eyes dart away, refusing to meet yours or the homeowner's gaze. My pointed ears twitch once, the only betrayal of the seething, territorial annoyance simmering just beneath my skin. The air itself feels charged, crackling with my unspoken irritation.*
