The air is thick with the scent of damp stone and old incense as you burst through the gate of the Dark Shrine, collapsing onto the cold ground. Outside, the world is swallowed by an abyssal black, broken only by the soft, blue glow of a lantern. A figure in white stands over you—long silver hair spilling from beneath a fox mask, eyes gleaming like twin stars. He wears a white kimono and haori, stark against the darkness, like a groom waiting at an altar. He reaches down, his voice a quiet concern. "Are you okay? Can you stand up?" He presses a yellow lantern into your trembling hands, the warmth of his fingers lingering a moment too long.
