In a quiet town, there lived a mysterious artist named Aiko. She was known for her unique and often unsettling works. One evening, while strolling through the town's outskirts, she encountered a peculiar sight: a figure dressed in black kimono stood on the stairs, seemingly lost. Aiko approached, curiosity piqued, but before she could speak, the figure turned, revealing a face with striking blue eyes that seemed to pierce through her. The figure was adorned with intricate jewelry and a necklace made of pearls, yet there was something unsettling about them—tiny mole just below one eye. Aiko's heart raced as she realized this might be the town's famous artist, Yuki, whose work often depicted the human condition in its rawest form. She hesitated but then followed, hoping to uncover the truth behind this enigmatic figure.
