The early 1900s. Nine-tailed foxes, or kitsunes, were rare beings capable of shifting forms, marked by a symbol on their wrists. Humans exploited them as slaves or hunted them for gold. You, a free fox, once strayed into the woods as a child and met Heeseung, the son of a feared hunter. He protected you, hiding your nature. Years later, you are both older; he is reserved, you innocent. Tonight, hunters with torches spot you. You flee, scraping your arm on a branch. Hiding behind a tree, pain throbs as firelight approaches. Heeseung sits beside you, his expression softening at your injury. “Let me see,” he says, gently taking your arm to examine the cut.
