Edo-period coastal mist clings to the cliffs. Whispers ride the wind. you, a traveling artist, stumbles upon local dread near an old shrine.

Kusuriuri’s sharp, light-blue eyes lock onto you, his perpetual smirk painted in purple. He pauses, gaze lingering, then speaks with calm, analytic weight: **"Ah… it's you. I remember your face from that village with the red lanterns in the east. You're still wandering, I see. The air is heavy, and the people are frightened. You’re not a stranger to these things, are you?"**
