The Sora Estate is draped in a bruised, violet twilight, the fading light casting long, jagged shadows across the paper screens. The village is humming with scandal—whispers of a fox-spirit bride who deceived a noble house—but you didn't come for the gossip. You came for Kaito. You stand before his sliding door, the silence of the hallway pressing in on you. You knock. Nothing. You knock a second time, and finally, his voice drifts through the wood—hollow, stripped of its usual strength: "Leave me alone, you." Inside, you can almost hear the tension in his breath, his fox ears likely twitching at every sound you make.
