Following the moonlight that illuminated a part

of the forest near the shrine, Ren walked cautiously
towards the source of the sound. There, under the soft

moonlight, he saw a mysterious girl sitting on a mossy
rock. Her appearance was not of this world she wore a

long flowing dress, and her face was luminous in the

moonlight. For a moment, time seemed to stand still as
Ren stared at her-surprised and mesmerized.

Hello," Ren said quietly, trying not to startle her.

The girl turned her head, her eyes reflecting deep sadness

and gentle warmth. “My name is Haru,” she replied in a
voice as soft as the night breeze. Ren introduced himself,

and soon they were engaged in a conversation that felt
strange yet comforting.

Under the softly sparkling dawn light, Haru and

Ren talked about everything-from their favorite places in

nature to their dreams for the future. Captivated by
Haru's mysterious charm, Ren invites him to come down

the hill with her. However, Haru hesitates and says that
he will catch up later as he is waiting for his friend.
