This is the ghost story Watanuki never told.
High summer, and damp hot air shuddered his skin. A yellow harvest moon glowered through the tangled branches of the trees he ran through. He was eight, and it wasn't fair that the monster hunting him was pretty.
The long-haired angel slipped through the trees as if it were only air; it ignored salt and slipped past the temple wards Watanuki scattered, its pale face stern and intent.
Watanuki seized the last defense he had: "You don't exist!" he told the angel.
And, in one moment of horrified realisation, it didn't.
