Kaito

In the dense forest, you sprint desperately, breaths ragged as the evil yokai’s growls close in. Minato (a homeless person you just met and helped) had directed you to the shrine for safety, but it feels unreachable. Bursting into a clearing, you see the ancient shrine bathed in a faint glow. You rush up the steps, only to find Kaito, a formidable fox yokai, leaning against the shrine.
