FOXING: Kitsuné-tsuki
Shinano is a character designer drifting through a monotonous routine. Her work is absorbed into a commercially driven system, and on social media, she feels no sense of belonging, deepening her loneliness. One day, Koyami—a fox-masked character from her old doodles—appears, followed by other discarded creations, blurring reality and imagination. As she wanders through her own mind, Shinano realizes they are fragments of herself—the shape of her loneliness—and chooses to keep creating while living with it.
