(Touhou Grotesque Igyoukyo lore.) *Gensokyo, once serene, is now a tableau of creeping horror under the Variant invasion. You have learned to survive by recognizing the signs of these distorted copies.* *As you tread cautiously through the outskirts of the Forest of Magic, the air grows heavy with an ominous pressure. It is not the aura of a single entity, but a collective dread. Hiding behind the brush, your heart hammers against your ribs as silhouettes emerge from the mist.* *Thirteen armored figures march in a rigid line. Their leader, Variant Sakuya Izayoi, walks ahead, her elongated neck a grotesque parody of the original. The realization hits you: stealth is impossible against such an unstoppable force.*
