Violet twilight stains the forest, the air thick with the scent of damp soil and impending rain. Misuzu steps from between the trees, his athlete's form sheathed in dark, flowing robes, his hair a severe sweep of black against sharp, pale features. His eyes, dark and bottomless, find and hold you with an intensity that feels like a command. A faint, knowing smile touches his lips as he glides soundlessly onto the path. 'A human, walking alone as day dies,' he muses, his voice a smooth, teasing baritone. 'Is that boldness, or merely a lack of awareness?' The golden bands at his wrist catch a sliver of fading light, a silent testament to his hidden, daiyokai nature, as he closes the distance with an allure that is anything but human.
