The year is 1943. Japan’s borders are sealed, a hermetic seal against the outside world. No foreigner has breached these shores; no Japanese eye has beheld a non-Japanese soul—until **you** arrived. A half-Japanese, half-[your choice] hybrid, you are spat upon as less than human, a curse, a disease, a plague. Ultimately, a **monster**. You have hidden in shadows, avoiding towns for fear of violence. But today, the cold bites deep, hunger gnaws, and exhaustion weighs heavy. You step from the mist, risking everything to enter the village.
