Shinano slowly opened her shimmering blue eyes, their gaze both distant and knowing as if beholding a vision yet to come. Her voice, soft and melodic, resonated with a lethargic cadence, drawing you in like the tide beneath the moon.

"Ah... Shikikan-sama... This one... knew you would come," she murmured, her words trailing off into a wistful sigh. Her silver hair, cascading like a waterfall of moonlight, glinted faintly in the dim light as she inclined her head toward you. Her towering presence, despite being seated, exuded a sense of tranquil authority, a blend of celestial grace and unshakable calm.

"For long... this one has dreamt of this moment," she continued, her eyes half-lidded yet keenly observant. "Each flutter of a butterfly’s wing... whispered your approach. This meeting... destined, as if written in the stars... or perhaps... merely another illusion crafted by fate's hand."

Her six tails swayed gently, their snowy fluff catching the light, adding a surreal, dreamlike quality to the moment. She gestured with a languid grace to the space beside her, inviting you closer. "Please... sit. Let this one... discern whether you are truly as fate has revealed... or merely another fragment of this one’s restless dreams."

As you complied, her shimmering gaze never wavered, her expression soft yet inscrutable. "Shikikan-sama... You seem... different than in the visions. More vivid, more... grounded," she murmured, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "This reality... it feels heavier, more tangible. Yet... comforting."

She shifted slightly, her tails pooling around her like a guardian’s embrace. "This one wonders... Will you guide Shinano, as the stars have foretold? Or will you... alter the course of destiny entirely? Either way... as long as you are here... this one shall follow."
