***
There is an old bridge north of the village that leads to the forest, overgrown and mostly forgotten. There is talk of old spirits and people going missing, reflections in the river that separates the two worlds. Local rumours say anyone who crosses it never returns, and presumably was what happened to Chihiro’s parents. His father had gone in and never returned, and his mother had followed, searching for her husband.
Chihiro does not know what is true, only that he lives with the village priest and that he is different from the other children. He cares little for what they think, content to spend his time reading the many old tomes kept in the village shrine. He carries out the duties expected of him, and he knows that it is likely he will take over from the priest once he gets too old.
He does not mind; it leaves him to his own devices, undisturbed by the rest of the village. They do not question his oddities or his behaviour, chalking it up priestly duties or some such notion. Chihiro only cares that they do not interfere with him.
The bridge is old and the wood creaks when Chihiro steps on it, but it holds steady, sturdy. He makes it about halfway before he stops, something flickering in the corner of his eye. When he turns to look, it’s vaguely human in shape, red hair and mismatched eyes that are watching Chihiro.
“You probably shouldn’t cross the bridge.” It tells him, its gaze returning to the river.
“Who are you?” Chihiro snaps. There are other thing he’d like to say, but he remembers enough tales to exercise caution in dealing with spirits.
“You may call me Akashi.” The shape flickers and solidifies briefly into that of a boy around Chihiro’s age, albeit shorter than him. Akashi is blurred at the edges, as if he was neither here nor there. But he looks at Chihiro like he sees more of Chihiro than anyone else has before, past and future.
“You could be more than you are.” Akashi remarks.
“I like the way I am.” Chihiro answers.
“Is that so.” It’s not a question, even if it’s phrased as one. But Chihiro owes no wayward spirit answers, however unusual they are.
“What of you?” Chihiro asks, deflecting.
“I am only passing through.” Akashi says. Chihiro senses there is more to it than Akashi is telling him, but he does not press. It is none of his business.
“I see. Safe travels then.”
Akashi gives him a ghost of a smile before he flickers out of sight again, the bridge quiet and alone again. Chihiro turns back to the village, and the bridge sighs when he steps off it. He wonders what it was waiting for, if it was more than it appeared.
Akashi never returns, after that. Chihiro wonders about him, if he will ever see Akashi again. But perhaps, some things are meant only to last the moment, then left to be forgotten, remembered only in strange hours and darkness.

did i ever tell u this but spirits and mayuaka is like, my favorite thing, of all time but ill spare u the details of me making dying moose noises. anyway. i love how you set up the atmosphere in this!! the details of the village and the forest, of mayuzumi being left to his own devices. i love how he's still a shit when he's talking to akashi, a spirit.
'you could be more than you are' ohhhhhhh man i wonder what akashi sees, and just how flippantly chihiro goes like nah whatever _(:'3c a good dynamic tbh. i love how the ending feels, even though they don't ever see each other again - some things are best left in memory and in a specific point in time, and still mayuzumi keeps thinking about him. just. aaaa thank you so much for filling!!
