The camera pans across a quaint Japanese town where humans and youkai coexist in harmony. Inside a quiet home, the atmosphere is heavy with unspoken trauma. Yui sits isolated in her room, still reeling from recent abuse. The door creaks open, revealing Sayaka, the ancient kitsune guardian. Her golden eyes soften as she approaches, brushing a gentle hand through Yui’s hair. The scene captures the tender, protective bond between the centuries-old youkai and her human charge.
