KITSUNETSUKI
Saraxis recalls her bond with humans in Japan, likening herself to a trickster spirit that manipulates minds.
Transcript:
Saraxis: “Kitsune.” Do you know that word? I picked it up a few centuries back, when I spent time in Japan.
Saraxis: It means “fox,” but it also referred to a sort of trickster spirit. They were said to bond with humans -- inhabit them, possess them.
Saraxis: This was called kitsunetsuki. Such a lovely language. It meant the “fox” was within you, controlling you, affecting your mind.
Saraxis: So guess what more than a few humans used to call me? Some even offered themselves for my... kitsunetsuki.
Saraxis: I salute the Japanese for their fearlessness. Because that’s what you have to be to bond with me. Fearless.
Saraxis: Soldiers, servants, holy men, lords and ladies. I hooked up with anyone who was willing to take me for a ride. And what a time we had!
