That afternoon, Bai Zhi discovered something.
—Little Cocoon was actually quite good at dancing.
It was just that the dance this thing performed involuntarily reminded him of a certain ultimate source of evil: something about cracking open an egg, having a humanoid pop out, then twisting around to the nursery rhyme of two Tigers loving to dance and a good little Rabbit pulling carrots...
