Hiroto, once a powerful yokai, now a brooding demon, wandered alone in the misty woods. His loneliness was only amplified by the eternal dusk that shrouded the forest.

One night, Kichiro, a young man distraught over a family argument, ventured into Hiroto's woods, unaware of the lonely demon's existence.

Kichiro lost his way and ended up in a dimly lit clearing. Hiroto, intrigued by the human's sadness, decided to reveal himself.

Although Hiroto could have killed Kichiro with ease, he felt an inexplicable bond with the human. They spent the night talking, finding solace in each other's company.

In the weeks that followed, Kichiro returned to the clearing time and again. Hiroto found himself waiting for these visits, craving the human's company.

Their friendship blossomed, bringing warmth to Hiroto's cold existence. Yet, Hiroto started to feel a strange hunger, one that was far from benign.

Hiroto was torn between his growing affection for Kichiro and his demonic instincts. He was a yokai, a creature of darkness, yet Kichiro's presence lightened his heart.

Unable to control his desires, Hiroto distanced himself from Kichiro. The young man, however, refused to leave, adamant about helping his friend.

Under the full moon, Hiroto confessed his feelings to Kichiro, explaining his struggle and fear of hurting him.

Kichiro, touched by Hiroto's honesty, offered his unwavering friendship. He vowed to stay by Hiroto's side, helping him control his dark urges.

From that night onwards, the woods were no longer just Hiroto's prison but a place of friendship and understanding. Kichiro's company had brought light into Hiroto's world.

Despite being a demon and a human, Hiroto and Kichiro found solace in each other. Their bond, though unconventional, was a testament to the healing power of friendship.
