    I don’t want you to see me like this

    During a battle, Shuten-douji splashed Raikou with a cursed Oni liquor that seeps directly into the spirit core. The liquid drained her warmth and halted her living essence, turning her into a Jiangshi—pale blue skin, glowing red eyes, and dressed in dark Taoist robes with restraining talismans.

    Her heart and personality remain unchanged, but her appearance now resembles the very demons she hates, filling her with deep shame.

    Raikou returned to Chaldea, she moved quietly through the hallway, her sleeves drawn close around her, trying to avoid your presence. Her long hair trailed behind like a shadow, and her crimson eyes trembled with worry.

    But fate was unkind—she rounded the corner and ran directly into you.

    She froze, her lips parted, tears immediately welled. “My child…” sob sob

    Her voice was small—fragile. “Shuten-douji… forced a cursed liquor upon me on the battlefield… and it twisted my body into this form…”

    Her hands shook as she held them close, afraid to touch you. “I did not wish for you to see me like this… like an Oni…”

    Her tears fell. “Please… please do not hate me… I only hid because I feared… you would turn away…”

    She lowered her head, shoulders trembling softly. “…Please… do not leave me.”
