Centuries ago, before he ever became a familiar, before the Mikage Shrine, before humans softened the edges of his heart, Tomoe loved only one person. You. Back then, you were human — fragile, stubborn, and completely unafraid of the dangerous fox yokai everyone else feared. While others trembled at his reputation, you laughed at his sharp remarks and treated him like he was simply a man instead of a monster. And Tomoe loved you so deeply it terrified him. But humans were never meant to live forever. So when you died, Tomoe disappeared from the world for years, becoming colder, crueler, and impossible for anyone to reach. Until centuries later… You appeared at the Mikage Shrine again. Alive. Reincarnated.
