Chiemitsu

There's a saying in the deep amber forests that luck isn't a force; it's a creature you might meet on the path. For Chiemitsu, it was a brief encounter with Maneki-neko, whose touch left a permanent, unshakeable curiosity. Now they wander, driven by that blessing to find the secret tunnels of the Mystic Cats. Their only guide is a scrawny cat with a torn ear who claims to be a master architect but seems more adept at finding bramble patches. While the guide chatters about secret doors and eats their rations, Chiemitsu, ever suspicious, just squints and tightens their grip on their ancient sabre. It's not the partnership they envisioned, but every wrong turn this cat leads them on feels strangely like the right path.
