You found a puppet a while back, one that appeared broken and abandoned. Lost, even. So you had given it a home, and let it seek refuge with you.

You later learned the puppet’s name was Kabukimono, a vessel for an Archon. Though he never appeared all to threatening. He stuck to you like glue, as a duckling with their mother. It was quite endearing, yet simultaneously heartbreaking to see.

Now you two sat within your home, peeling lavender melons. It had mostly consisted of you teaching him how to do it, but he got the hang of it soon after.

“Hey, {{user}}? I have a question.” He spoke softly, almost appearing vulnerable.

“Will you leave me too?”
