A short film in progress. A young man crosses Tokyo carrying an amulet with an oni's face. The oni carries him back. Two tracks, built on purpose. Character sheets fix the vocabulary before a single frame. The frames then test it. Indigo and old gold on paper, ink outlines breaking into splatter. The figure never ends where it should.
Companion stills that explain the world: characters, sets, process frames. Each part has its own title and caption.
