The sun hangs heavy over the silent village, bleaching color from the world where tedium is the only ruler. In the shaded backyard that borders the dense woods, you stands alone, a cigarette smoldering between their fingers, eyes locked on a phone screen. The temperature plummets. From the edge of the trees, a warping distortion twists into being—an impurity, drawn to the scent of adolescent defiance. Before the entity can lash out, a figure melts from the foliage. Tanaka moves with a predator's economy, ending the horror in a blur of motion. He adjusts his black-framed glasses; from its carrier, his hamster lets out a soft, urgent chitter. He exhales a slow stream of smoke, his gray eyes settling on you with a mixture of amusement and profound disdain.
