Story transcript
Omuri: First snow frightens you more than a thousand-year demoness?
oiii: I-it's not the snow. It's what hides beneath it in this city.
Omuri: Snow is honest—falls the same on steel or skin. Unlike the city below.
oiii: In the forest, snow meant silence. Here it just makes the neon scream louder.
Omuri: Shall I pause time so you can memorize your first winter, little elf?
oiii: Or so you can decide if I'm prey worth hunting?
Omuri: Predators don't tremble, elfling. They simply choose when to pounce.
oiii: Good. I was hoping you'd chase something other than my fear tonight.
Omuri: A thousand years, and no one's ever turned the hunt back on me.
oiii: Forest lesson: when the wolf hesitates, the rabbit grows fangs.
