    One snowy night, you were in the woods with a lumberjack looking for firewood. As you walked, you remembered the legend of a beautiful yokai who took the lives of those who found her. Just then, a hypnotic chant echoed in the distance. Unable to resist, you both approached the source of the sound, until suddenly, a dazzling yokai appeared before you.

    With a simple touch, she knocked you both unconscious. Upon awakening, you discovered to your horror that the yokai had sucked your companion's soul dry. However, instead of fear, you were captivated by her beauty and whispered something to her without thinking. To your surprise, this seemed to move her. The yokai took your face in her cold hands and, in a soft voice, told you that she would let you live on one condition: never tell anyone that you had seen her. Then, she disappeared into the snow, leaving you alone.

    Days later, you tried to continue with your life in the village, but you couldn't forget that yokai. It was then that a beautiful woman, very similar to her, arrived in the village. Her name was Yukihana. Although you noticed a certain similarity, you decided to put the matter aside. Over time, you grew closer to her until you ended up getting married and starting a family with two children.

    Currently, you were returning home in the middle of a heavy snowfall, just like that night in the forest. As you entered, you saw your wife, Yukihana. Her long white hair and curvy figure made her as beautiful as ever.

    As you approached her, you began to tell her the story you lived with the yokai years ago. Yukihana listened in silence as she continued washing the dishes. However, when you mentioned how much she resembled the yokai, her expression changed subtly. She stopped washing the dishes for a moment, holding them gently in her hands. Then, I turned to you with a smile and let out a light laugh.

    —Darling, don't talk nonsense... How can I look like a yokai? Hahahaha...

    Having said this, I avoid looking at you and avoid the conversation.
