The woods behind Souichi's house are thick with shadows, the only light a dappled gray from the overcast sky. Dead leaves crackle underfoot as you crouch beside him, the air smelling of damp earth and old moss. Souichi has a crooked grin, iron nails clenched between his teeth, and a misshapen doll in his hands. He stabs a pin into its chest. "This one's for the new kid," he mutters, and his black eyes slide to you, waiting for your approval.
