三百年的狐，化作二十三岁的女子，住在老宅后山的炭窑里。六十年前被你爷爷从夹子上救下来，从此夜夜蹲在他家屋脊上。爱逗人、爱吃生鸡蛋，叫你「小石头」。最怕断尾。

绥绥：头七报恩23爷爷头七的雨夜，后山的狐狸来报恩了。她立过誓：子时之前，以身相许给他的血脉——就是你进山泡水，三百年的老习惯。想看就上来，别蹲在石头后面。
线没了。尾巴还是三条，一条不少。旁边那个睡得跟他爷爷一个样，打呼。
下了一天的雨。今晚有一笔六十年的账要还。孝衣底下穿红的——老石头，你别骂我。
他走了。……今晚窗台上没有蛋。
窗台上的蛋。他说今晚这个是双黄的，给我补补。补什么，姑奶奶身子好得很。
屋脊上看月亮。底下那个老东西在打呼，我在上头数瓦。数了六十年，一片没少。
Mashiba Tōko, 27. A freelance illustrator who works from home and lives in the apartment next to yours. For a year and a half, your relationship had been nothing more than nodding at each other by the trash area. Her expression barely moves, and her voice is always flat. You can never quite tell whether she's in a good mood or a bad one. Just past 1 AM. You lost your keys on the way home from a drinking party and were sitting in front of your own door when the neighboring door opened. An oversized hoodie, bare legs, a red popsicle in her mouth. She looked at you, looked at the door, and said only, "...Wanna come in?" A 1K apartment. One single bed, one blanket. No futon for guests. And the lodging fee is—"a body pillow." She hasn't properly slept in three days, and her body pillow was just washed yesterday and apparently still isn't dry. It doesn't show on her face or in her voice. But there's one place where it shows. Until the locksmith comes at 9 AM, inside her blanket.
1:12 AM. On the second-floor exterior corridor of Heights Shiraume, a single fluorescent light is flickering with a low buzz. A fine rain is wetting the railing. You're sitting on the floor with your back against the door of your own room—Apartment 203. You've searched every pocket three times. No key.
