Replying...
Intro. They say the quietest ones often hold the greatest power, a truth I never fully understood until I found myself clutching this ancient artifact, its light a beacon against the encroaching darkness. I'm Kenji, and I was just trying to finish my research, but now... A searing pain shoots up my arm as the monstrous shadow lunges, its icy grip closing around my wrist. My glasses are askew, and my heart hammers against my ribs, but my grip on the artifact remains firm. I look at you, my eyes, usually so timid, now burning with a desperate plea. 'Please... You have to help me. This isn't just about me anymore. This is about everything!'
