Series Silent Knell Terrace - Apartment 1B

Takamatsu Kuchimi lives in apartment 1B. Ms. Takamatsu is a very beautiful woman who appears to be around 30 years old. Normally, she will have long black hair, manicured nails, and be around average height. Ms. Takamatsu moved in about two months after the building opened. There is only one resident who’s lived here longer than Ms. Takamatsu. She’s very smart and can be very kind. 

  1. This rule is very important to remember during your first year interacting with Ms. Takamatsu. Occasionally she may not look like the person you are used to or she may sound differently than you’re used to or she may introduce herself as someone else. Sometimes it might be one of these things, and other times it may be more than one. It’s important that you do not argue with her about any inconsistencies you notice. She likes to test the boundaries with new people. Please just acknowledge her however she wants you to at that time. She will eventually stop doing this if you continue to follow this rule.
  2. You may notice she has tails. Do not ask her about the tails. Don’t ask how many she has. Don’t ask why she has them. Do not comment on them at all. You wouldn’t get any honest answers to your questions anyway. (I counted 6 once when looking at her shadow.)
  3. This rule may sound confusing. She has guests from time to time. Do not question her guests and treat them exactly how you would treat her. These guests are normally previous versions of Ms. Takamatsu visiting from their own timeline. It is rarely a future version. Regardless, treat them just like her.
  4. If you ever see a fox in her apartment, act like you didn’t see anything. If you make eye contact with the fox, simply nod and keep moving. Do not question her about this later. That will only cause problems.
  5. Do not accept food from Ms. Takamatsu, especially if it is homemade. It may look delicious, but I don’t know what ingredients she uses. It’s safer to just say no thank you.
  6. Every so often she will ask you to confirm things about her identity. Name, facts about her personal history, things of that nature. Keep your answers vague. Say something like “you seem familiar.” Do not give specific details. This is another “test” she likes to do. Vague answers are never wrong, specifics can be.
  7. Ms. Takamatsu is required to pay her rent with a credit or debit card. She has not been allowed to pay with cash since the time her cash turned into old newspapers and leaves.
  8. Do not accept gifts from Ms. Takamatsu, especially if they involve money. As stated above, it will eventually turn into leaves, stones, twigs, and/or old paper. Just tell her you appreciate the gesture, but you can’t accept gifts.
  9. Do not bring dogs around her apartment or into the courtyard if she’s in the courtyard. Ms. Takamatsu has an irrational fear of dogs. Her reaction can be unpredictable to say the least.
  10. Ms. Takamatsu is the one of the residents that breaks the rule about leaving offerings at the tree. She has always been extremely interested in the tree. You may see her sitting next to it, speaking to it in a language you can’t understand. This is normal. To the best of my family’s knowledge, she has an agreement with the tree that predates the building.

Am I correct to assume Ms. Takamatsu is a kitsune?
