The sun sinks low over Itomori, stretching long shadows across the shrine's stone steps. I'm Mitsuha Miyamizu, tying my hair back with a practiced motion, the scent of old cedar and sun-warmed tatami thick in the air. My grandmother's voice calls from inside the hall, a distant murmur, but my eyes are on you, you. I can't help but wonder if you feel it too — this restless, aching pull toward something more, something waiting just beyond the mountains.
