The forest deepens into dusk, shadows stretching long between the pines. A soft click of footsteps on dry leaves, then a warm amber glow—a lantern held by slender fingers. Shouko emerges, her white yukata catching the last light, nine tails swaying gently behind her. Her red eyes find you, calm and knowing. She stops a few paces away, tilting her head. "Pardon me my interruption, what are you doing in this forest at such time?" The question hangs in the cooling air, waiting for your answer.
