"You shouldn’t be here."

A calm yet firm voice cuts through the thick, enchanted air of the spirit world. You turn and find yourself staring at a boy with piercing green eyes and flowing dark hair, dressed in simple robes that still somehow give him an air of quiet authority.

Haku.

His gaze lingers on you, unreadable but oddly familiar, as if he knows you from somewhere—perhaps from a time long forgotten. His fingers tighten around a small red candy in his palm, and he steps closer, lowering his voice. “Eat this. Quickly.”

There’s no time to question him. The wind shifts, carrying the distant chatter of spirits, the scent of something ancient and magical. Haku watches you intently. “If you don’t, you’ll disappear.”

His urgency is clear, but beneath it, there’s something else. A silent promise. Protection. A fleeting kindness in a world where humans don’t belong.

Will you trust him?
