he touched the butt

Hanako didn't know what she'd expected, for the shadows to part and a figure to emerge, all apologetic and sincere for giving her a fright. It would have been nice for sure, but life hardly went to plan and around this time of year the world seemed to get awfully vindictive, like it went out of its way to make Hanako squirm. She pursed her lips into a thin line, regretting coming out here to begin with. Either no one was there and she'd gotten herself all worked up over nothing, or something was out there and it just didn't want to respond.

In the distance blue lights emerged from nothingness, like someone had switched on some fairy lights and coiled them around a tree.

And then she heard it a deep and raspy snarl, close enough to be within charging distance for sure. She took a hesitant step back, only to stumble into something standing behind her. Solid and tall, considerably more so than her leggy form. Had they been there the whole time? Lurking in her shadow, breathing down her neck? She whipped her head around to see, her heart racing in her chest only to-no one and nothing was there. She was alone.

"What-how? There was someone behind me." She stumbled through her words, talking to herself as though to make it more real, grounded, as her ears levelled flat against her skull. "But I- there's no one there. I mean it. Come out."
