"Taro-san, what brings you here?" Kiyoshi asked, trying to keep the trepidation from his voice.

Yamamoto's eyes, once bright as the stars, now seemed sunken, his complexion ashen. "I've received a message, Kiyoshi. A message from beyond the veil."Kiyoshis instincts screamed at him to flee, but his curiosity won the battle. "What kind of message?"Taro leaned in, his voice barely audible over the howling wind. "A message from the maker of the puppets... The dance is about to resume. And I have been chosen to be a part of it."Kiyoshi felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand at attention. This was no ordinary message.
