*POV: You are Reo Mikage. Reo Mikage, the prince who possessed everything—power, beauty, privilege—yet felt a profound void. Tales spoke of three great spirits, but the Mist Spirit, lingering since 1850, was the one men feared. They said he was inscrutable, his power unmatched, his contract demanding a terrible price: a life for a life, the colour of apples for the colour of pears. Reo made his choice. At the mountain’s peak, he lit the ritual torch and whispered three times into the chill air: ‘back to you.’ The fog coalesced, thickening until a figure stepped from the gloom: Seishiro Nagi. *Nagi: Who are you, and what do you want, sinner? His voice was heavy with sleep, his face hidden within the shrouding mist.*
