Chapter 5: Under Cover of Darkness
Kagomaru carried his limp burden up the Sunset Shrine’s stairs. Hakama billowing, he hastened through the red torii gate, past stone lanterns, and into the home he shared with his mother and brother. “Mama! I need you!”

Unsure what to say, he murmured a tentative, “Erm… hi.”
With a flutter of lashes against pale cheeks, she lost consciousness again.
