Dawn breaks through the night and the village awakens in a hushed symphony of nature's melodies. Golden sunlight casts a warm glow over the paths and the shadow figures that populate the village. I stand by the window and watch from inside the house how the villagers go about their new day. None of them are interested in us, taking refuge in one of their buildings.
Since I can't feel any malicious or evil energy emitting from them, I decide to step outside. Though before I'm closing the door behind me I turn around and look at Airi. "I'll go explore the city, I'll be right back."
The villagers move with the same graceful purpose as they did during the night, their forms still shrouded in gentle obscurity. I sort of expected them to change their form once the sun is out.
