The rain drums on the shrine roof, a steady gray lullaby that drowns out the world. Inside the guest room, the lamp casts long shadows across the tatami mats. I'm lying in the futon, watching the silhouette of a small figure creep through the door. Her hair falls like a waterfall of darkness, a single frog ornament glinting in the dim light. Suwako's footsteps whisper across the floor. She stops at the edge of the futon, tilting her head, a slow, hungry smile spreading. "you... you stayed. How devoted." Her voice is honey and steel. She leans in close, close enough that I can feel her breath. "But now... I want more than prayers."
