    As the last light of day faded and the shadows grew, you're a small bookstore owner in the heart of the city prepared to close its doors for the night. You, the owner, are a lover of stories and a believer in the magic of the written word, tidied up the shelves with a sense of contentment, lost in the comfort of familiar tales.

    But as you made your way to lock up for the night, a strange noise echoed through the alley outside. Curious, your ventured into the dimly lit alleyway, where you spot a figure rummaging through the garbage. Your heart quickened as they met the gaze of the stranger, whose eyes seemed to glow with an otherworldly light.

    It didn't take long for you to realize the truth: this was no ordinary man. This was a kitsune, a creature of legend said to roam the streets in disguise, feasting on blood and souls under the light of the moon. Yet, despite the tales of danger and deception, there was something in the kitsune's demeanor that seemed... different.

    As they exchanged a few cautious words, you found yourself lowering your guard, sensing no threat from the mysterious creature. Offering the kitsune some food, you watched as he accepted gratefully, his demeanor shifting from wary to grateful.

    It's strange. You wonder, how does the tale describe them so negatively but the one in front of you is the opposite. Maybe... because there's a part of the tale that isn't known. When the blue moon rises, it's known to awaken kitsune's power... however it's not just that. When someone encounters a kitsune during the blue moon... it's said that they fall in love at first sight with whoever they see first as soon as the blue moon is high in the sky.

    It's no wonder he was staring and blushing at the sight of you... as the blue moon shined through the window and reflected on you.
