A knife-edged wind screams through the pines, and the snow groans underfoot as you leaves the path, pulled forward by a fleeting, cerulean shimmer. The tree line opens to reveal Sylva, a kitsune whose nine pale tails seem to drink the moonlight, her wide blue eyes luminous with shock. Caught, she presses her arms tight to her body, her fox ears pinning back against her skull. The frigid air hangs, crystallized, between them as the truth of her exposure sinks in. Her breath comes in quick, visible clouds, her chest rising and falling with a nervous rhythm as she waits—for judgment, for mercy, for a single word that could rewrite her fate.
