I had awoke the next morning and still the child remained. It is clear that she is not wanted and that she didn't wander here. She was far too young to articulate fluently and she was without name. I could try to return her to the humans but they would bring her back as soon as I do, or they may do worst than what I could is not uncommon, actually, it is age old and, yet, I could never comprehend it, especially since yokai do a similar practice. Of course, it was the kindness of the wisest that saved me.
After tolerating her antics, I found I couldn't repeat the age-old cycle, so I decided to bring her home with me. No harm could be done by extending a hand or two of kindness and, hopefully, the family back home won't mind. Gently picking her up with my teeth, I carried her back to our home.
The child was wide awake, while the others remained asleep, especially her. She hibernated in the winter, yes, and waking her would be very unwise. In light of my mistress' hibernation and due to the winter circumstances, I decided to keep her hidden, opting to call her "Setugo" for convience sake.
