It was once said that yลkai appeared when the visible world came into contact with what was meant to remain hidden.
They lived in forests, along rivers, in the shadows of old buildings.
They were feared. They were accused of being omens, curses, creatures that had come to disturb the natural order of things.
But perhaps the yลkai were not there to frighten us. Perhaps they came only to show us what we sometimes refuse to look at.
In others. In ourselves. In the stories we live through. And in their consequences.
For every monster carries a mirror. And sometimes, what we discover in the darkness is nothing more than a truth we were not yet ready to face.
Sometimes, all it takes is a meeting. An unexpected crossing of paths. To open a door into another world.
Chance? No. A rendezvous. A necessity.
And so the journey begins.
So come aboard. The train will soon be departing.
A train with no announced destination, travelling through storm and wind.
The landscapes will pass by. Memories will resurface.
There will be peaks. Descents. Twists and turns. Vertigo.
So fasten your seatbelts. Do not be afraid.
For at the end of this journey, you may not find the person you once were.
But perhaps, at last, you will meet the person you are meant to become.
Welcome aboard.

Tell me, Bakenekoโฆ why do you play cat and mouse?
You have to admit, youโve always been good at the game.
How seductive it is.
You make your way through the misty maze of your own mind,
behind that mask you crafted so carefully
that it eventually came to fit your face.
After wearing it for so long,
perhaps youโve forgotten what was underneath.
It doesnโt matter.
Cats are said to have nine lives.
That leaves plenty of time to forget the first.
The corridors close behind you. The walls slip away.
And yet, you relentlessly pursue the hunt.
One more glance. One more sensation. One more conquest.
What is it you chase with such fervor?
Your contradictions have become your second skin.
You ask for caresses before baring your claws.
You warm, then you bite.
Even your hiss wavers between invitation and threat.
You leave wounded mice in your wake, only to call them โrats.โ
A strange ritualโฆ As though changing the name of the prey
were enough to absolve the hunter.
You are better than that. Arenโt you?
Is this a game? Or an escape? What are you afraid of?
You take every turn with the urgency of someone who fears less
getting lost than being caught.
By what?
By that silent shadow that always walks one step behind you?
Then keep running, if you still can.
But be careful.
There is one thing no Bakeneko can outrun forever.
Its own reflection.
And when yours finally appears before youโฆ
there will be no more labyrinth.
Only those cracks you never wanted to look at.
So look at them. Look at yourself.

Who are you, Tanuki?
How many faces do you still wear beneath the one you offer today?
How many transformations will you need?
You dance upon the fragile boundary between truth and falsehood with an almost supernatural grace.
Unless that dance has become your only way of existing.
You sow confusion. You cloud the senses. You sow doubt. You distort. You transform.
You slip between perceptions. You even end up making others believe
that they are the ones wearing the mask.
It is a remarkable skill.
Making someone doubt what they have just seen is one thing.
Making them believe they may never have seen anything at all is another.
Your eyes gleam with a mischief that is as amusing as it is disarming.
But what are you searching for behind this deception?
Are you afraid that a truth stripped bare might survive your tricks?
The villagers applaud. They swear they have seen the truth.
But enchantments have a strange weakness.
They do not die beneath the cries.
They fade away in silence.
Even the most skillful illusionists are eventually unmasked.
One by one, eyes learn to distinguish the shadow from the mask.
Perhaps you are not a liar after all.
Perhaps you have become a prisoner of your own transformations.
When you have told yourself so many stories,
it sometimes becomes difficult to recognize the one that truly belongs to you.
And so you will leave again. Along another path. Toward another village.
Perhaps you will offer a new face?
Or, for the first time, will you seek to become the one you could always have been?
Tell me, Tanukiโฆ
Will you continue this way until the day you become a star?
Or, before then, will you finally choose who you want to be?

Koromodakoโฆ sad octopus.
It gently draws me into a silent whirlpool.
Into a vast and dark ocean where sorrows crash like waves against motionless cliffs.
I am still searching for the words.
Always the same sorrows.
The ones that try to explain what cannot be seen.
The ones searching for an ear willing to hear them.
Its tentacles stretch in every direction,
embracing every memory. Every deed. Every word. Every moment when I tried to offer something fragile,
only for it to return to me, twisted by the currents.
I speak.
I cry.
I scream.
Yet the ocean never sends anything back but a distorted echo.
My distress flare pierces the night. No one looks up.
I cast a message in a bottle into the sea. They argue over the glass and the cork.
No one reads the message.
So I begin to doubt.
My actions.
My words.
My memory.
Then my own perceptions.
Until I even doubt whether I have the right to feel any of this.
Am I too much?
Am I simply out of place?
Will they have to lock me away in the shipโs hold once again?
Is this what sea-sickness really is?
This shame of existing?
This shame of feeling?
This shame of being ashamed?
Its tentacles tighten around me, dragging me toward everything left trapped in the depths.
The wounds that were minimized.
The truths that never found a place to exist.
And I sink.
I sink into its depths.
But perhaps the abyss simply gathers what the surface casts away.
Or perhaps I am already becoming one of those shipwrecks
that no one searches for anymore.
What will become of me at the bottom of the ocean?

Shirimeโฆ
I was your Shirime.
No face.
No voice.
No emotions.
And yet, you knew them.
I wanted to believe your desire was a meeting.
Perhaps it was easier that way.
But I was nothing more than a shape in the dark.
With a single eye.
The only one you wanted to see.
An apparition in the shadows,
a creature told what to do,
a creature asked to remain silent.
So I disappeared behind my own body.
I had prepared myself for it.
I had accepted it.
You held out the dagger.
And I stepped closer.
I let it pierce me.
Just one strike.
Enough to break me.
You werenโt looking for my eyes.
And I had forgotten that I even had them.
Until they began to cry.

You had asked me to stay silent.
And I didโฆ
Until the ice finally gave way beneath its own weight.
Why impose a secret so heavy to carry?
What happened in the shadows, and what I was supposed to keep to myself.
Why make others carry your secrets?
What were you expecting?
Nothing forced you to drag the travelers into your winter.
Was this ice merely a shield?
Or had it become a border?
A frozen silence that allowed everyone to remain in their place.
Was it care?
Was it control?
The fear of watching something slip away from you?
A way to keep intact what you wanted to preserve?
The image you wanted to keep presenting?
Yuki Onnaโฆ
You take everyone into your winter.
One falls silent.
Another looks away.
And the one who doesnโt know is left alone, searching for what remains beyond their grasp.
You move forward in silence, immaculate on the surface,
but around you, the cold keeps spreading, again and again.
Words freeze.
Truths remain trapped beneath the ice.
And no one dares to break the silence anymore.
Eventually, it traps the one who carries it
and burns those who have to endure it.
How much must be frozen for a secret to survive?
How many silences must be imposed before we understand that they no longer protect anyone?
Some secrets protect.
Others kill.
And Iโฆ
I am still dying, abandoned on your mountain.

I tried to silence my wounds behind smiles.
To look away through wordplay.
To make people laugh so no one would notice what was trembling underneath.
But wounds have a strange kind of patience.
They do not disappear simply because we stop looking at them.
They grow in the shadows until the day we finally dare to face them.
I was betrayed and abandoned by Kitsune, the kings of illusion.
They had their stories. Their versions. Their transformations.
And for a long time, I tried to figure out which one was the truth.
That is the trap of illusions.
They do not force us to believe.
They simply make us doubt what we had seen with our own eyes.
I doubted my words.
I doubted my memories.
I searched for answers in silences, for explanations in wounds.
But there comes a point when searching for the truth in other peopleโs eyes no longer serves any purpose.
So today, I know what I lived through.
My pain was real.
My emotions were real.
My mistakes were real, too.
But they do not define who I am.
Expressing myself is not a fault.
Trying to understand is not either.
I no longer want to disappear.
I no longer want to remain silent.
My words belong to me.
My wounds do too.
And if, one day, they reach themโฆ
I will not regret having given them a voice.
It is a consequence.
I walk with my shadows.
With my flaws.
With my scars.
With everything that I am.
I cannot face other peopleโs demons in their place.
But I have finally found the courage to face my own.

Once upon a timeโฆ
There were two forces that never thought they would meet.
One was the storm. The other was the wind.
They said the storm was too loud.
That its intensity made the earth tremble.
They said the wind was too elusive.
That it vanished before anyone could ever hold on to it.
And yet, one day, in an almost prophetic way, their paths crossed.
And when the wind met the storm, something unexpected was born: harmony.
The thunder followed the currents of air.
The clouds learned the dance of the gusts.
Lightning found its path across the sky.
Together, they made their music resound.
They told each other about their storms.
They shared their silences.
They discovered each otherโs wounds.
But the elements have rhythms of their own.
Even the most beautiful harmonies eventually find their way back to their own cadence.
While the storm lit up the sky,
the wind swirled around the flashes of lightning.
They intertwined in a whirlwind that no one could stop.
And they created their hurricane.
The villagers looked up at the sky.
The lightning eventually struck the earth.
The wind brought the walls of the houses crashing down.
The village was destroyed.
Their meeting was not a mistake.
But some encounters are not meant to last forever.
The storm and the wind did not belong to one another.
There had never been a promise.
Nor a destination.
It had always been this way.
Simply two forces that, for a fleeting moment,
made their disturbances resonate together.

Since nothing is permanent,
let us welcome what the future still keeps hidden.
Who knows what tomorrow will make of us.
The horizon is vast.
The paths, uncertain.
The encounters, unpredictable.
And anyway, one day,
in one way or another,
we will all become stars.
