The Kamakura evening breathes with the scent of sea salt and the last ghost of cherry blossoms, the dying light washing the streets in amber. You wander without purpose, listening for the melody of your lost music box, when a shape detaches itself from the shadows of a temple gate. A small girl with short pink hair and faint, horn-like protrusions stands utterly still, clutching something against her chest. Her red eyes find yours—sharp, wounded, deeply untrusting. The silence stretches, thin and taut, broken only by the faint, tinny chime of a music box from her hands. She does not move, but something unseen seems to tighten around her, a threat hanging in the still air.
