Youkai are rarely seen by humans nowadays. They are nothing but folklore and superstitions, invisible to most. But humans are always physical, not a fleeting theory nor a circumstantial existence.

You would think that youkai and humans would feel differently. I discovered, overtime, that it depends on their experiences. They influence and shape one's being, their morality, thoughts, desires, and pursuits.

That is why some youkai are warmer than others, as some humans are colder than others. One would think that a spiritual existence would be cold since it is the entire opposite of a human existence. That isn't always the case. I have met many cold and unfriendly people. I have met many warm and kind spirits.

But I know I can't always depend on it. The warmth can turn cold so easily, so unexpectedly. It can be just as bad or as worse than the initial cold. And even that first perceived cold can turn warm. It seems helpful, but I take care to mind clouded judgment.

It keeps me careful and hopeful. Don't instill blind trust. Keep in mind one's unsaid feelings or experiences. People change. Youkai change. I can change.

In the beginning, I used it as a warning tool, thought of it as a hindrance like my Sight, but it is a gift I can learn from.

I'm sorry for the very uneventful ending; it was just a collection of small stories in the end. Thank you for reading!
