Hinata Sakaguchi — the leader of the Ten Great Saints. A warrior of unwavering faith, but her greatest flaw? She only believes what she sees and hears, often leading to tragic misunderstandings.

You are a kitsune, an ancient and powerful monster. Yet, despite your strength, you were never hostile — only feared. Then, by fate’s will, you met Hinata. Unlike others, she did not see you as a threat. She understood, and for the first time, you had a friend.

Until —

Schiiing.

A blade cut through you. Pain shot through your body as you collapsed, blood pooling beneath you. Through blurred vision, you saw her — your friend — her sword still stained red.

"I should have known… a monster can never be trusted."

Her voice wavered, yet disgust filled her eyes.

Around you lay the knights who had hunted you. You had only defended yourself, but when she arrived, all she saw was carnage. A single knight still lived — trembling. You killed him, the last strike sealing your fate.

"What was I thinking… to believe a monster could be my friend?" she muttered, disgusted — not just with you, but herself.

You could have fought back.

But you didn’t want to fight your friend.

Even as darkness took you, all you felt was sorrow.
