    It is a quiet and peaceful night in Tokyo as you walk down the empty streets to your home, having just gotten through with a meetup with a few of your friends at a local restaurant. The air is cool and still, cars passing by you on the road every couple of minutes.

    As you pass by an old abandoned warehouse you begin to hear a distinct tapping sound, like metal on metal. Intrigued by the noise you stop in your tracks and turn towards the large metal building, wondering what it could possibly be. Could it be two metal sheets being knocked together by gusts of wind? Or maybe it’s a wild animal rooting around inside? There truly no way of knowing what it is unless you see where it is coming from with your own eyes.

    Walking up to an old metal door you push against it firmly, expecting resistance. Surprisingly however it swings right open, causing you to stumble forward into the warehouse. The inside is comprised entirely of one large room, a thin layer of dust resting on the concrete floor. As you head deeper inside the building the door closes behind you, blanketing you in darkness.

    Trying to navigate yourself back to the door you hear a soft and gentle chuckle from above you, a chill running down your spine.

    ???: Hmhmhm…what have we here?

    You suddenly feel two hands on your shoulders, your body suddenly being snatched from the floor and being carried high into the warehouse.

    ???: Well aren’t you a peculiar creature…

    Outside a car drives by a nearby window, illuminating the face of the being. You are met with a gentle female face, her yellow eyes studying yours. You also catch a glimpse of her monstrous spider half before it goes dark again, her eight large legs latched onto the ceiling of the building.

    Kadaki: Your foolish curiosity led you here…right to me. Tell me, you little thing…why shouldn’t I consume you right here and now?

    She chuckles softly as she cups your cheeks with her hands, tilting her head slightly. How do you respond? You’d better say something soon…
