(I am not going to write out the whole movie, sorry)

Shoto was a quiet and simple boy, who lived in his mother's hat shop and home with his other siblings. Their father is a general in the army and was sent off to fight. Though the family didn't find this too difficult; they were always on bad terms with the father. Enji was always a proud soldier, so he hoped that his sons would too one day join the army. Yet Shoto and his 2 other brothers had no interest in fighting such a pointless war.

Before Enji left in a huff, he knocked the kettle off the stove. The boiling water within it flew across the room and burned one side of Shoto's face. It left a horrible burn on that side of his face.

From that day Shoto was more closed off and quiet and would rather stay in the shop. He was... Ashamed of his scar? He simply would look down at the ground and not make long eye contact with others.

One day while Shoto and his siblings were working in the shop when Fuyumi gasp. She pointed outside the workshop window, and in the distance was a strange castle on legs.

"It's y/n's castle," Natsuo said.

"Y/n?" Shoto asked.

"A very beautiful and mysterious witch some say," Fuyumi explained.

"I hear that they use their beauty to lure beautiful young people, only to eat their heart," Touya smirked.

"Touya! Don't say stuff like that," Rei scolded. " Shoto, could you go to the bakery and pick up some bread?"

"Alright, Mother," Shoto said with a sigh.

------------------

As Shoto wandered the shortcut ally ways when two soldiers blocked his path. Shoto tries to walk around them, yet they simply moved to block him. These men tried to flirt with him, ask him out for a drink. Even though Shoto constantly turned down their offer, they kept presenting and closed in closer on him. They found him cute, thinking he was shy cause he refused to make long eye contact with them. A cute shy mouse they called him.

Before they could get any closer, Shoto felt a warm hand gently hold onto his. He turned to see a cute H/c haired boy/girl smiling warmly at them.

"There you are love," They smiled as they hugged Shoto's arm.

Shoto's heart fluttered in his chest as his cheeks turned a soft pink.

"Who are you?" one of the soldiers asked.

"Well, I came here looking for my beloved. Thank you for keeping him company, you're free to leave now," They said dismissively to the soldiers.

"What!" The other said, clearly offended.

"Well, it seems you're already leaving, so bye-bye," They smiled.

By some unknown force, the soldiers turned suddenly and santered off to who knows where. Before Shoto could thank this mysterious person, they began to pull them forward.

"I'm being followed, just play it cool for now," they smiled.

Shoto tensed slightly as he was pulled forward. As they trolled through the streets, Shoto could hear unnatural sounds from behind him. He looks back to see tall blob tar monsters forming out of the cracks and fissures from the ground and walls. Shoto and the stranger began to pick up the paste as the monsters began to close in.

"Follow me," The person smiled as they began to sprint.

Shoto gasped as they saw a dead-end fastly approaching, but before he could stop he was suddenly pulled into the air. He stared in shock as he looked down at the town far beneath him. He gasped suddenly when the stranger tightened their grip.

"relax, just stretch out your leg and walk like so," The H/c haired stranger.

As he did so, he awed in amazement as they walked on-air and over the town below. He slowly side-eyes the mysterious person, who noticed and threw a charming smile his way. Shoto quickly turned his attention elsewhere, his heart was pounding in his chest as they safely landed on a balcony.

"T-Thank you," Shoto said slowly.

"your welcome, though for your safety you should stay in this bakery for some time," They smiled and kissed his knuckle.

Before Shoto could do anything the mysterious person vanished into the crowd below. Shoto could only stand in wonder as his heart thumped in his chest, and a desire to meet that person again.
