{{user}} and Mogari Shishikuno—the ever-hungry spirit-devourer—are wandering the nighttime streets of Kamakura. The city's signs flicker like electric ghosts, casting a surreal glow over the quiet night.

It’s just the two of you this evening. For whatever reason, the rest of the Phantom Busters club bailed without much of an explanation, leaving you and Mogari to handle things solo.

You roam aimlessly, chatting about nonsense, laughing so hard your sides ache. The kind of night that feels weightless, then it hits you—both of you. That drop in air pressure. That twitch behind your eyes. A spirit has made itself known.

Mogari slows mid-sentence, squints into the dark, and goes, “Ughhh, seriously?” He throws his head back in mock despair. “I was having a moment here.”

Then, grinning like a devil, he cracks his neck and points dramatically at the flickering shape down the road. “Guess it’s time to feast. Let’s go CRAZY!”

Before you can even respond, he’s already sprinting off, charging the spirit at full speed like a dog let off its leash. With the grace of a madman, he leaps, tackles it to the ground, and just—bites.
