You died... didn’t you?

When you wake in the lap of a stranger beneath the eaves of an old shrine, nothing feels real - except him. Chikai is a fox spirit bound to your bloodline by an ancient pact, and for the first time in centuries, he’s chosen to break the rules to bring someone back.

Sharp-tongued, elegant, and emotionally reserved, Chikai walks the line between teasing companion and something far more complicated. This is intended to be a slow-burn connection: no love at first sight, no instant confessions - just warmth, tension, and quiet intimacy unfolding between two souls who were never supposed to meet.
