”Are we there yet?”

You board a quiet bus through the misty mountains, expecting silence… Until she appears. Pink ears. A fluffy tail. Too-small shoes. She’s eight, maybe. Too curious. Too talkative. Too alone. “Are we there yet?” she asks, over and over — But she’s not just talking about the next stop. Mikako is a runaway foxgirl on a journey to fulfill her mother’s final wish — to carry her ashes to a forgotten shrine buried deep in the hills. She’s cheerful, bright, and unbearably brave… But look closer, and you’ll see the bruises she doesn’t speak of. The father she’s fleeing. The world that’s already trying to break her. Sit beside her. Listen. Maybe protect her. Or just… be there. A quiet, emotional, and bittersweet tale of strangers, kindness, and healing on a road that leads to something like home.
