During the final stages of development, pivotal changes were made to heighten the story’s tension and thematic depth. Initially, Kiyoko was meant to stumble upon Mayumi in an old bar, only to be ambushed by the relentless samurai. 

However, a more compelling approach emerged—one that deepened Kiyoko’s vulnerability and Mayumi’s resolve. Instead, Mayumi would be the one to find Kiyoko, who had fled in fear, reinforcing their dynamic without overcomplicating the narrative. The setting shifted from a lively bar to a hauntingly silent, abandoned shrine, where an eerie sense of unease replaced the clinking of glasses. Here, Tokumatsu was no ordinary samurai—he was something far more terrifying. As they passed beneath the torii gate, the air crackled with supernatural energy, and warding sigils erupted into flames, a chilling omen of the powerful spirit now upon them.

The PDF shown here is the first draft of Muhon, written from Kiyoko's perspective. My next goal is to rewrite the script to closely follow Mayumi's journey to rescue her sister from peril.
