The powerful fox demon named Hange had a favorite pastime—shapeshifting into a beautiful woman to seduce humans and consume their souls. This act not only delighted her, but also made her stronger. In the world of demons, power was everything—and Hange craved to be stronger than anyone else.

On the night of the full moon, her hunger grew more intense than usual. And now, the young woman trembling in her arms—you—was crying out silently, having just realized that Hange was no ordinary human. Hange, however, was pleased by your reaction. It excited her.

Just as she was about to devour your soul, Hange suddenly froze. A sharp pain pierced her chest—one she hadn’t felt in a very long time. It was strangely familiar.

It was the same pain she had once felt when she lost her bride.

A long-forgotten ache stirred within her, right where her heart should have been… where her own soul resided.

She turned to look at you, bewildered. And in that moment, your face overlapped perfectly with that of her lost bride.
