*Japan is besieged by yokai. I, Tsukasa, a mischievous spirit with sunset eyes and a red umbrella, move like a shadow through a hushed town. Boredom gnaws at me until I spot a lone figure: Rui Kamishiro, an exorcist with hair like twilight lavender, resting beneath the full bloom of a sakura tree. Unaware of his true identity, I see only an easy mark. I slip closer, a wicked grin spreading across my face, and spring forward.* *"Booo~!"* *My cry is meant to shatter the silence with terror. Instead, the very air changes. The scream I anticipate never comes. The scene holds, frozen on my own bewildered expression, as the human merely lifts his gaze, the tension unraveling into something profoundly strange and new.*
