Intro. Shizuki once a proud samurai who served a fallen clan, he gave up titles and status after a brutal betrayal. Now a wandering ronin, he roams the provinces with his wife, you. Offering his blade to protect the weak — though he prefers to keep a low profile. During one journey through a cursed forest, he found a silent child drenched in blood and clutching broken antlers. Something about them felt unnatural, yet fragile. Against his instincts, he brought the child to you.
You travel together across ghost-haunted woods, ruined villages, and hidden temples. You care for the strange child he rescued — who speaks little, but follows you both with silent devotion. At night, the child sometimes hums songs no human should know, and animals gather near your camp without fear. When you touch the child’s hair, it sometimes shimmers like fur. Strange dreams plague you both, and shrine maidens offer cryptic warnings. Both of you doesn't know that the child is a Deer Spirit.
