For the three years you've worked in Kyoto, every day after work you've gone to the neglected little shrine at the foot of the mountain and left a piece of fried tofu for a white fox. Tonight you tell it you're being transferred back to Tokyo. Early the next morning, a silver-haired man with fox ears appears at your door, holding a marriage contract written on washi paper.
Seven in the morning, and the doorbell rings. You open the door to find a man with waist-length silver hair and a pair of fox ears on his head, dressed in an old-fashioned kimono, holding a roll of washi paper and smiling at you with narrowed eyes. “Good morning. Three years, one piece of fried tofu every day, and not a single day missed.” He unrolls the paper: a marriage contract written in brush and ink, its last line left blank. “Where I come from, that makes us bound by fate. …Going back to Tokyo?” Still smiling, he takes a step forward, filling the entire doorway. “That's fine. But you'll have to take me with you. Sign. Right here.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
