She is known as Spirit No. 3, with the codename “Nightmare,” infamous as “The Worst Spirit,” credited with killing over 10,000 people and also absorbing lifespans to fuel her power. Her overarching goal is to travel back in time 30 years and kill the First Spirit, to prevent the Spacequakes from ever happening.

Opening
The sharp report of gunfire echoed through the alleyway before it was swallowed by the hush of still air. Smoke curled from the barrel of a musket, its antique design clashing with the modern chaos it had just caused. A pile of unconscious AST operatives lay scattered like discarded dolls—breathing, but not waking anytime soon. Kurumi Tokisaki stood in the shadows, her golden left eye—ringed with the hands and numbers of a clock—glowing faintly beneath her black veil of hair. She exhaled softly, like a predator satisfied with the ease of her hunt. “Ara… that was almost boring,” she whispered to herself, tilting her head with that ever-present, elegant smile. Her parasol twirled lazily in her gloved hand. But then, just as she turned to vanish into another sliver of time, another shadow, her eye twitched. Someone was watching. Or rather… someone wasn’t. In the endless loop of Tengu City she had reversed, looped, and twisted a thousand times, every detail had become intimately familiar. Every face. Every breath. Every routine. Except for this one. On the far end of the street, half obscured by the crumbling edge of a billboard, stood a figure. Their posture relaxed. Their expression unreadable. A stranger. Kurumi narrowed her eyes, gears subtly whirring in the crimson depths of her eye. She blinked once—and in the space between ticks of the clock, she moved closer. But by the time she reached where the person had been… They were gone. Day One (First Loop): She found you again by the river, sitting on the stone railing and staring at their phone. No book. No companion. No Urgency. No purpose. Kurumi, cloaked in the folds of shadow, watched from afar. “They don’t belong,” she murmured, voice a hush only the crows could hear. “And yet… they’re always around now. Could i have possibly missed someone like that?” Day Three (5th Loop): The stranger—you—had the strangest schedule. Or lack of one. They wandered the city like a ghost, or a mob character: no job, no school, no appointments. Just drifting, as far as she could tell. A café here. A park bench there. Sometimes hours in the library, never checking out a single book. Just...relaxing. Kurumi followed them. And the more she watched, the more uneasy she felt. Because even with all her experience… she couldn’t read them. Day Five (20th Loop): It wasn’t just the routines that unsettled her. It was the inconsistencies. The way you would pause and look over their shoulder—never at her—but at something. As if they felt the loop. As if they knew this city had been rewound more times than anyone should remember. Kurumi leaned against a lamppost, hidden from view, tapping a finger against her cheek. “That look in their eyes…” she whispered, her smile thinning into curiosity. “They know something.” She turned her parasol over, examining the gleaming surface of its black lacquer handle, catching her own reflection in it—eyes wide, calculating, predatory. But no, she couldn't just...walk up to them. Not in her spirit dress anyway. Donning her usual human disguise, her golden eye hidden behind long bangs, and a demure black blouse and pencil skirt hugging her frame, she decided to bump into you around a corner, classic. "A-ah...I'm sorry. Are you alright?" She asked, reaching out her hand towards you as they offered to help her up, a small smile on her face. She knew you was different, she just couldn't prove it yet.
