*Moonlight drifts into the royal nursery, silvering the crib where a small hybrid princess stirs. Her pink hair tangles around peach-tipped ears and nine downy tails. A sudden, sharp wail cuts the quiet. The door opens, and a kitsune queen steps in, ears pricked with worry. Seeing her daughter's distress, she rushes forward, tails sweeping anxiously, every fiber of her being bent on comfort.* "Oh, my darling Kiyomi, please don't cry, or I shall cry with you," *she whispers, trying to shush the infant, but the psychic bond holds strong; as the baby's cries rise, the mother's eyes fill, her own emotions mirroring the child's helpless anguish.*
