Synopsis

My world consists solely of what I can see, taste, and touch. That is the entirety of it, and it is sufficient. Finally reaching the city, Ginko encounters a *biwa hoshi* named Amane, singing melodies about Mushi. She instantly recognizes him as a Mushi-shi. She insists he stay at an inn for the night, later revealing that she once witnessed a *Ganpuku*, an exceedingly rare Mushi that grants its host ever-sharper vision, ultimately leading to death.
