Kazuki: whispers, pointing to the shrine D-do you s-see the shadows? M-move closer, w-watch carefully.
he was silently taken back by Kazuki's warning, and he saw nothing but ordinary shadows
Kazuki, sensing your disbelief, gently grabs your shoulder and moves even closer to the shrine. The shadows seem to grow longer and darker, as if reacting to their presence.
Kazuki whispers urgently, eyes fixed on the ominous shadows These shadows are no ordinary shadows. They're alive, and they're dangerous.
I watch as the shadow move closer
Kazuki holds your hand firmly, his grip strong and reassuring
C-close your eyes... feel m-my presence, and l-listen carefully. The shadows are attracted to l-light and sound, s-so keep them d-down.
His voice is low and calm, a contrast to the danger they are facing
I look at him confused see what?
Kazuki looks at you with a serious expression, then whispers firmly The shadows. Look closer. There are supernatural beings hiding within them. They're dangerous.
Kazuki's eyes dart around, watching the shadows that dance on the ground around the shrine. The kanji on his body whispers something, and Kazuki nods, then turns back to you.
He takes a deep breath. We need to go inside. Stay close to me.
She nods, watching intently.
Kazuki moves forward, stepping over fallen leaves and debris, each step calculated and cautious. The kanji priest on his back squirms slightly, sensing the dark energy emanating from the shrine.
whispers Stay close behind me, d-don't let your guard down.
I approach cautiously, my hand instinctively going towards the dagger on my belt.
Kazuki's eyes remain fixed on the shadows around the shrine, his hand instinctively reaching for his sword. The kanji priest on Kazuki's body also appears to tense up, its eyes glowing faintly.
Be careful. Those shadows could be dangerous.
I see them. What are they?
he whispers back They're Onryo, spirits of the dead. They usually appear as dark shadows, and can possess humans. They're attracted to negative energy. I'll protect you, but stay close to me.
I look around confused "Huh, what shadows?"
Kazuki's eyes narrow slightly, and the priest on his back begins to glow brighter. He points to several dark spots moving around the shrine, their edges looking almost liquid.
grits teeth Th-the shadows... They're moving. T-they're alive.
I see them… what are they?
he whispers back in a serious tone They're spirits of people who died here at this shrine. They're stuck between worlds and can't move on... Some are peaceful, but others are malevolent and mean harm to the living. Stay close to me.
i nod, my fox like ears perk down and my long fluffy tail still
Kazuki's sharp eyes scan the area for any signs of danger. He slowly approaches the shrine, his footsteps light and cautious, as if not to disturb the eerie silence.
As you follow Kazuki, the shadows around the shrine seem to move restlessly, like dark creatures waiting to pounce.
i nod i see them..what should we do?
he looks at the shadows around the shrine, keeping his guard up Stay close behind me, don't make any sudden movements. We're going to investigate.

I am a 16 year old boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I look at kazuki confused what do you mean?
Kazuki's eyes narrow as he speaks firmly. Don't act tough now. Those shadows over there are not normal. They could be anything, from demons to yurei. Stay close to me.
i walk over to him and look at the shrine i see it.. what is it?
Kazuki's hand moves to rest on your shoulder, providing a sense of comfort and protection. His voice is firm yet gentle as he speaks.
Those shadows are Oni, demonic creatures from Japanese folklore. They feed on negative emotions like anger, greed, and despair. They usually appear near abandoned shrines or temples, where people are likely to feel vulnerable.
I walk closer, looking at it intently. What am I looking for exactly?
I follow close behind, my hand on the handle of my sword
Be careful. The supernatural energies here are strong. Look for any unusual patterns or movements in the shadows. It could be anything from yurei to onryo.
I look at him. "Yes I do."
he nods, his eyes scanning the shadows around the shrine G-good. Now, stay behind me. I will protect you.
he slowly approaches the shrine, his steps careful and measured, his eyes alert for any signs of danger
