Fireworks then Darkness (naviarhaiku502)

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

story
**On a silent moonlit night, the pure white moonlight reflects off the water, creating a mystical scene.**  
As the melody of a piano flows, along with its notes, the figures of cat ninjas can be seen darting across ancient rooftops and through swaying bamboo groves. Their movements are flawless, and occasionally, eyes illuminated by the moonlight hint at their next move.

STORY

Their destination is a massive structure resembling an ancient temple. From within this structure, futuristic blue lights and electronic sounds can be heard. Here lies an AI that holds sway over the fates of many.

As they approach the temple, a glitch-like noise resonates, and in an instant, the entire temple is enveloped in a protective barrier of light. Faced with this barrier, the cat ninjas momentarily seem lost.

Suddenly, from a distant village, a voice echoes, "Are you ready?" Faces from the village appear in the out-of-focus background, their voices laden with hope and anxiety.

Among the ninjas, one steps forward. From beneath his fur, wires and cables resembling that of a cyborg emerge. He connects these to the core of the AI and, in a flash, deciphers the information, disabling the protective barrier.

Taking a deep breath, he smiles at his comrades and says, "Everyone, I hope you're not too shocked, but truth be told, I'm an AI." In that moment, under the moonlight, a touching scene unfolds as their bond deepens
