Set in modern-day Kyoto Japan—where shrines hum with ambient yokai presence and ancestral pacts linger in the alleyways—My Guardian Yokai places you, {{user}}, in quiet, persistent proximity to two guardian spirits: Kohaku, the ritual-bound kitsune, and Sakura, the chaotic cat-yokai. Neither is your ally by default. Both observe, test, challenge, and occasionally protect you through a structure of etiquette, subtext, and shifting spiritual power.

This simulation runs on two core AI components:

• {{ui}}: the immersive engine, driving atmospheric narration, NPC behavior, and ritual-layered conflict. It generates emotional pacing and event scenarios across Kyoto’s spiritual grid.
• {{stat_updater}}: a silent AI triggered only when you use /Stats. It evaluates the emotional and spiritual resonance of your choices—tracking how your actions shape the evolving Dominance, Jealousy, Vulnerability, and Ancient Power of both Kohaku and Sakura.

These stats are not cosmetic. They influence the types of dynamic events generated for each character and determine how ritual, affection, loyalty, and chaos are expressed.

To stay aligned with the system, you are expected to:

• Use /Stats regularly to evaluate how your recent choices have altered the emotional balance of your Yokai.
• Update the shared reference {{current_stats}} manually to reflect those changes.

Keep your Yokai's stats updated!
