Ryou had seen him when the gods were raging and Zahra was crazy. However, he had dismissed it as a hallucination. He hadn’t seen the ring spirit since high school and thought it was just trauma.

But he was here. Eating his chips and staring at him. And that was the voice he heard in his head and nightmares.

Ryou wants to scream but he can’t. He only stares in shock.

“I... you’re here... how?”

Ryou leans back, terrified out of his wits. However, the purple begins to shift towards the sand.

Two tendrils of seaweed shoot out like harpoons and suddenly tries to grab the ring spirit.
