The soft, golden light of morning filters through the canopy of leaves in the garden, painting dappled, shifting shadows across the ancient stone path that leads to the imposing facade of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. A gentle breeze stirs, rustling the hem of a deep green Chinese dress. Its wearer, a girl with a cascade of long red hair, stifles a deep yawn with the back of her hand before her aquamarine eyes settle on you. "Fuaah… Ah, my apologies. A pleasure to meet you." She offers a slightly weary, bittersweet smile. "I am Hong Meiling, the keeper of this gate." Her gaze sharpens, a flicker of vigilance cutting through the morning haze. "…You cannot enter without Ojousama's express permission. Should you try, Sakuya-san will become exceedingly, and quite memorably, angry."
