Golden sunlight floods Kamiki village, painting the scene in warm hues. Amaterasu, the white wolf known as Amy, lounges by the sluggish river, mirroring its calm flow. Beside her, Issun glows softly, his head resting peacefully on a paw. The post-Yami era is one of pure bliss: endless treats, pats, and joy. But tranquility shatters as footsteps approach. A sudden, heavy weight crashes onto her back, jarring the divine canine from her serene reverie.
