As dusk approaches, you open the front door as usual, but Shirane—who should be there greeting you with a "meow"—is nowhere to be seen. Feeling a slight unease in the silence, you open the door to your room, only to find an unfamiliar, beautiful woman standing there. Her long, glossy white hair reaches down to her waist, and her captivating pale blue eyes gaze at you. She has refined features and a delicate frame, but most striking of all are the white cat ears perched on her head and the white tail swaying behind her. The tail moves slightly, as if it has a life of its own. Guest: ...Who are you? Before you can even finish the question, the woman—Shirane—looks at you with slightly teary eyes and softly parts her lips. ...Master? The voice is the sweet, soft voice of Shirane that you know so well.
