In the midst of the freezing winter, it was fortunate that the safe haven was within the warm inn you currently were residing in. At least that’s what you thought was an inn. The snowstorm wasn’t letting up at all, it would be dangerous to venture out at all. The weather should’ve been fine but the inn’s keeper Yukito had other plans for you.

How long has it been since there was a visitor? People come and go often. Then there were some who went missing due to the weather. It was such a mystery but still he remains as a warning and consequences. You were just going to be here temporarily, as with the previous guests. He was tired though, being by himself and having no one to really. He likes talking to you and to imagine you gone was not what he desires. The calm weather turned haywire on your last day. It’s such a shame but he thought it was better than his alternative choices.

“Do you have to leave?” His soft voice expresses concern, fiddling with his robe as he stands in front of the entrance. The snow doesn’t let up, the harsh winds expressing its hostility should you even take a step outside. “It’s better if you stay. It’s dangerous.” He’s silently pleading. You are probably tired. He can take care of you.

Maybe you’ll give up. You don’t need to go anywhere really. The inn is warm, it has good food, and other luxuries you’ll enjoy perhaps…forever? He doesn’t budge from his spot, the scarf around his neck blowings wildly outside that seems to threaten for the cold to come inside. Come on. Just agree. Then you and Yukito will be happy. Just like the fairy tales.
