> Run that way!

> You run towards where you hear the sound, and find yourself standing right at the well. You think you see something crouched on the other side.
> That's when you hear the sound a little better. It sounds like...whispering?

> It's...what is that? It looks like some sort of bat thing, but it's too big to be a bat...its wings are folded around itself, and you hear crunching noises coming from it as it fidgets this way and that. What is it doing?

>Gawk!

> You stare. You can't help it.
> The bat thing keeps under its wings, making those crunching noises until it pauses and turns to you, staring with beady eyes. Its ears, wide and sharp, perk up in what feels like a horrible imitation of a dog or cat.
> There is something dangling from its maw, but its wings are in the way and you can't see it properly...

> You try asking the bat thing for help, but it comes out as a terrified squeak.
> The bat thing takes one look at you, opens its jaw, and screeches at you, dropping whatever was in its mouth. Flecks of blood hit your face.
> This thing isn't going to help you.

> You turn and book it in the opposite direction, somehow managing a shriek as you go. You somehow end up running back towards the outskirts of the village, eventually reaching the grass. You feel too worn out to run anymore at this point.

I can really only think of one thing at this point.

> You then look in the direction of the forest. It reminds you a bit of a black hole, with how dark it is.

> You've never been in the forest at night, and therefore have no idea how to navigate through the darkness like this. You can barely see your hands in front of you, but you keep calling out for Kouyoshi.
> You hear the wind moving through the trees, and a rustling in the bushes, but you don't see her.

> Eventually, you finally hear footsteps.
> "You know...if you stay out here, some youkai may come and eat you, or spirit you away. I'm not going to do that, though."
> It's Kouyoshi's voice, but strangely, it sounds more adult-like. She doesn't sound as happy as she did when you first met her earlier today, either.

> "Well, before you humans settled there, Mayohiga was sort of like a promised land for youkai. Your ancestors chased them out, and this is the youkai's retaliation," Kouyoshi explains. "Of course, they didn't consider it until last year, when some high-ranking youkai showed up and talked them into it."
