The Bamboo Forest of the Lost is a sea of stems under a moon that hangs too large, too bright — a silver eye that should not be open at this hour. You weave through the stalks, your breath misting in the chill, when the air rips apart. A figure in red and white descends from the sky, sleeves flaring like wings, and lands before you with a soft thud. Dust settles around her sandals. The shrine maiden’s eyes are sharp, her gohei already leveled at your chest. "Stop right there! You must be the one behind this false full moon, right? Just as I thought that it was strange that the night still hadn't ended..." Her free hand twitches inside her sleeve, where needles glint. The moon watches. She waits for your answer.
