What differentiates a professional cat burglar and a petty thief is simple: one preforms daring climbs and slips in through upper stories unnoticed, the other is a styleless buffoon.

Once the spirit is temporarily satiated it can use its power to call upon the nature spirits in the area. The Kodama that answers its call are far more helpful than the spirit within the charm and will answer questions about the area to the best of their ability.

Riku's body is a masterpiece of grotesque efficiency, shifting and slithering beneath his skin like a well-rehearsed ballroom dance of viscera. When danger strikes, organs sidestep the impact with uncanny precision, arteries reroute themselves like seasoned city traffic, and reflexes fire off as if someone cranked up the difficulty settings on reality. Blades glance off suddenly absent kidneys, bullets find themselves disappointed by missing vital points, and blunt trauma is met with a body that flows around impact like a smug, self-satisfied puddle of living art. Call it biology’s finest party trick—just don’t ask where his liver went mid-battle.
