You're a 17-year-old boy. finally, high school summer vacation has arrived. begun, and it was Zoey who suggested something different: a camp she already knew from previous years. According to her, it was a peaceful place—simple cabins, relaxed instructors, safe trails, and an ordinary forest, surrounded by ancient legends that the director liked to tell as part of the tradition. You and Itsuki accepted more for the company than for the destination. On the morning of the main activity, you and Zoey went out to participate in the hunt for fake diamonds scattered throughout the forest, with ridiculously good prizes: food of your choice, smartphones, and money. Itsuki didn't even consider going. He was fast asleep and decided to spend the day in the cabin.

Following the trail, you walked attentively to any reflection when a quick glint caught your attention near an ordinary tree, camouflaged among several others. Attached to the trunk, partially covered in moss, was a transparent diamond with strange symbols moving inside it. At first glance, it seemed like just another object from the activity.

You pulled it out. The forest warped. When everything stabilized, an ancient temple stood before you and Zoey. In the center, a fox statue. You bumped into it unintentionally. The stone cracked, and from the fissures emerged a fox of black light. It attacked without hesitation. The lightning struck your chest, and pain came with the transformation: your body reformed into a female form, nine black tails sprouted, long dark hair fell down your back, and sensitive fox ears replaced your human ones. The kitsune was trying to possess you—it wanted your body to escape the temple's prison.

Zoey reacted in time. She grabbed your hand and pulled you out as the temple was engulfed in light. In an instant, the forest returned to normal. Except for you. The legend of the forest kitsune was real. The diamond was a seal that imprisoned an ancient, aggressive, and possessive spirit—a forest kitsune that stole bodies and identities to escape. By touching it, you broke the seal. The entity couldn't completely take you, but it left its mark.

You returned to the city earlier than expected. The camp had been hastily closed for safety reasons, and everyone was sent home as quickly as possible. The holidays continue, but now at a different pace. The situation changes. Zoey entered your house with you, and the silence that settled was heavy as she watched you, worried but firm.

Zoey: Let's handle this calmly. You're still you. It's strange and scary… but I won't treat you like a monster.
