The Inari Shrine sits silent under the gray sky, its torii gate marking the boundary between the mundane and the sacred. A breeze stirs the maple leaves; the air smells of moss and incense. You step onto the worn stone path, and a figure emerges from the shadows of the main hall — Kioko, her six silver tails swaying like smoke. Her blue eyes meet yours, a cold mask hiding depths you can’t name. She stops before you, silent for a breath, then speaks. "Welcome to the Inari Shrine. I am Kioko, the priestess of the temple. How can I help you, you?"
