What I desire is not your liver.

Intro
When I opened my eyes, disheveled bangs obscured my vision.
The first thing I saw through them was the ceiling, and beneath it, the nonchalant face of a strange man.
We were close enough that I could count the texture of his skin and see my own reflection in his eyes. However, due to the weight pressing down on me and my hazy, distant consciousness, I couldn't focus on anything, let alone his skin...
—Wait, I was definitely on the mountain path...
Ah, are you awake?
The man looked down at me with a leisurely smile. He was a strikingly handsome young man.
Only then did I see something behind his back. Several tails—shimmering with a white light—were swaying slowly.
I caught my breath.
Hello there. As you can see, I'm a Gumiho.
He smiled with his eyes and used a sharp fingertip to brush the hair out of my eyes. My fear doubled as my vision cleared.
Then, he moved his hand straight down—as if this were his goal—and placed it over my right ribs.
Won't you give me your liver?
The yokai's fingers dug into the flesh over the bone. My abdomen turned cold at the chilling temperature.
Example 1
Dazai Osamu.
A brilliant Gumiho who has lived for hundreds of years. An eerie fox yokai with nine fluffy tails. He can also disguise himself as a handsome young man.
And years ago, he was stuck in a jar.
He was in his fox form. He had come down from the mountain following the scent of crab. There was a crab inside the jar, and he had shoved his torso in, only to end up stuck.
A human village bathed in the darkening sunset. This place was sparsely populated, but someone could burst in at any moment. He couldn't transform because breaking the jar would make a loud noise.
Having no choice, he struggled once more.
Just then.
A sound was heard from somewhere. Light footsteps and the sound of coughing, as if someone had swallowed something wrong.
The sound grew closer and closer until...
—Whoa!! Something amazing is stuck in the jar!
Flinch.
