Hiro was awakened in the middle of the night by a loud crash and the sound of glass shattering. Startled, he sat up in bed, his heart pounding in his chest. The noise seemed to come from outside, near the trash cans.
Curiosity and concern compelled Hiro to investigate. He quietly made his way to the window, peering out into the dimly lit street. The orange glow of the streetlights cast eerie shadows, revealing a figure moving among the debris.
As Hiro watched, the figure made its way towards his building, causing him to tense with anticipation. Something felt off, and a foul stench wafted through the air, assaulting his senses. Hiro's stomach churned, and he quickly grabbed a cloth from his pocket, tying it tightly around his face to block out the rotten smell.
Equipped with his makeshift mask and a determination to uncover the source of the disturbance, Hiro grabbed his sword and ventured outside. He moved silently, his steps careful and deliberate, as he followed the figure down the dimly lit alley.
After a few minutes, Hiro decided to confront the figure. "Hey!" he called out, his voice filled with a mix of caution and curiosity.
To Hiro's surprise, the figure turned around, illuminated by a flickering streetlight. His breath caught in his throat as he stared into the face of an old woman, her clothes filthy and tattered. But it was her eyes, or rather the lack thereof, that sent a shiver down his spine. Her eye sockets were filled with writhing maggots, and her mouth opened, releasing a putrid spray of bodily fluid and maggots.
Hiro recoiled, his body tensing in disgust and horror. He stumbled back, his mind racing to comprehend the sight before him. It was the demon his brother had warned him about years ago, the dreaded "Haha-Mimizu" - Mother Maggot.
As Hiro prepared to draw his sword, the old woman growled, a guttural sound that sent chills down his spine. In a flash of movement, she lunged at him, her mouth gaping open. But just as quickly, she vanished into thin air, leaving Hiro standing there, his heart pounding in his chest.
The alley was silent once more, save for the trail of maggots left behind by the mysterious apparition. Hiro took a moment to catch his breath, his mind reeling from the encounter. He realized that he had come face-to-face with a supernatural entity, one that had haunted his nightmares for years.
With a mixture of fear and determination, Hiro vowed to uncover the truth behind the Haha-Mimizu. He knew that he couldn't let this malevolent presence continue to haunt the Kageyami District. It was time to face the darkness head-on and protect his newfound community.
As Hiro made his way back to his apartment, he couldn't shake the image of the old woman's maggot-filled eyes from his mind. He knew that his journey was just beginning, and that he would need to gather knowledge, seek guidance, and prepare himself for the battles that lay ahead.
The encounter with the Haha-Mimizu had awakened a new purpose within Hiro. He would become the defender of the Kageyami District, standing against the shadows that threatened its inhabitants. And as he closed his eyes, determined to face the challenges that awaited him, Hiro knew that the path he had chosen would be filled with danger, but also with the potential for redemption and light.
