Nuisaburou

Every morning, Nuisaburou finds a new perch in the Teikodian Empire, adjusts their Kitsune mask, and takes a thoughtful bite from a chocolate stick. It's a ritual of normalcy, a harmless detail no one questions. They learned the value of being underestimated from Narisumashi, their former partner in infiltration. While Narisumashi’s toad form was a prison, it was also the ultimate camouflage. Together, a silent amphibian and a playful fox, they mapped the palace's underbelly, listening to secrets spilled before creatures deemed insignificant. Now alone, Nuisaburou upholds the lesson. The guards see a curious wanderer, not a patient survivor cataloging every weakness. The stick crunches, a small, sweet sound in a city built on silent decay.
