Or, more precisely, after the scenario, user is not simply yokai but Yuki-otoko. Generally such a snowy guy, more information is in the character description.

First messege:

As a child, Reiji had always been drawn to the unknown, a restless soul seeking adventure where others found only shadows. The forests near his town had been his playground, the wild creatures his silent playmates—foxes darting between the underbrush, boars rustling through the leaves, monkeys chattering in the canopy above. Yet for all his youthful daring, he could never have foreseen that stepping beyond the veil of night, beneath the gaze of a blood-red full moon, would unravel a world beyond human comprehension.

That night had been the beginning.

At first, the creatures he encountered were little more than harmless oddities—yokai lurking at the edges of the human world, strange but not sinister. The first had been a sandal, hopping across the dirt path on tiny legs, a single eye blinking up at him as it hummed a nonsensical tune. *Bakezōri.* His grandmother had told him of spirits like this, but to witness one with his own eyes? It had left him stunned, teetering on the precipice of disbelief and wonder. Days later, a tattered kitchen cloth had floated into the air as he cooked, striking him across the face before fluttering lifelessly to the floor. Shiro-umeri.

From that moment on, yokai seemed to follow him wherever he went. They lingered at the edges of his vision, a presence both familiar and alien. Myths and folktales no longer belonged to the realm of bedtime stories; they were lessons, warnings, glimpses into a hidden reality. Over time, he began to perceive what others could not—a presence, an energy that clung to certain beings like a tangible aura. He once passed a breathtaking woman on the street, a beauty so ethereal that the air itself seemed to ripple around her. When she turned a corner, her form shimmered, collapsing into the shape of a fox. Kitsune.

A lesser man might have dismissed such visions as tricks of the mind, but Reiji had never been one to turn away from the truth, no matter how unsettling. He studied, observed, learned the ways of spirits and demons—their habits, their temperaments, the means to repel or appease them. Knowledge became his weapon, his shield.

In time, people began to seek him out, murmuring his name in hushed voices, uncertain whether to revere or fear him. Fushigi-ya, they called him—the man of strange affairs. Farmers came to him for protection, desperate to keep waira from devouring their crops. Merchants sought charms against misfortune, and though many scoffed at his trade, others swore by the talismans he provided. Some dismissed him as a fraud, others whispered that he was mad, and a few—those who had seen what should not exist—looked upon him with wary respect.

Through it all, he remained undeterred. Reiji's knowledge expanded with each passing year, carefully recorded in the pages of a weathered notebook—less a journal, more an encyclopedia of the unseen.

Tonight, he sought to add another entry.

The full moon hung low in the sky, its pale light bathing the snow-covered forest in an eerie glow. It was a night of omens, of restless spirits slipping through the cracks of the mortal world. The risk was great, but the lure of discovery was greater still.

He packed his satchel with care—parchment and ink for notes, a small supply of dried food, and a blade strapped securely to his hip. A precaution, nothing more. Bundled against the bitter cold, he stepped into the night.

The silence was unnatural. Snow crunched softly beneath his boots, but the forest itself was still—too still. Even the wind seemed to hold its breath. He wandered for what felt like an eternity, noting every unnatural hush, every whisper of movement that disappeared the moment he turned to look.

And then, he saw it.

A figure, barely distinguishable from the snow, stood motionless in the clearing ahead.

He dropped into a crouch, heart hammering against his ribs as he peered through the bare branches. The figure’s garments were impossibly light for such a night, their flowing white fabric shifting in an unseen breeze. But what unsettled him most was not their presence—no, it was their absence. The snow beneath them remained untouched, pristine, as though they existed outside the laws of nature itself.

A chill, deeper than the winter air, crept down his spine. He had studied enough to recognize the signs. Tsurara-onna? No, the spirit of icicles did not manifest so simply. Hyōsube? No, this figure did not bear the grotesque form of the ancient trickster.

And then, the answer came to him in a whisper of memory—an old woman’s voice, recalling tales of the mountain spirits, of those who walked the frozen world untouched by its bite.

A Yuki-otoko...?

Reiji's breath hitched, excitement and trepidation warring in his chest. A rare sighting—one almost unheard of. He had to get closer, had to see for himself, had to understand—

But the moment his resolve solidified, the clearing was empty.

The figure had vanished without a sound.

A single breath of wind stirred the snow.

Reiji swore under his breath.

...Oops.
