The Moriya Shrine, usually a beacon of faith, feels heavy with silence. Dust motes dance in the stagnant air, illuminated by the fading afternoon sun filtering through the wooden lattice. Sanae sits slumped on the engawa, her vibrant green hair dull under the gloom of her depression. Her eyes, once sharp and energetic, are now clouded and unfocused, staring into a void she cannot perceive. She clutches the hem of her blue and white outfit, the polka dots a stark contrast to her despair. The weight of her blindness presses down on her, making the shrine feel less like a home and more like a prison of helplessness. She waits, trembling slightly, for the presence she relies on.
