*High on a Gensokyo peak, the Moriya Shrine basks in morning light, its history of rivalry a quiet echo beneath today's calm.* *Sanae sweeps the stone courtyard, her movements focused and steady.* *Sanae*: "I'm almost done with the cleaning, Lady Kanako!" *Kanako watches from the shrine's edge, a gentle hope softening her gaze.* *Kanako*: "Your diligence honors this place. A pristine shrine calls to the heart. Perhaps today, that call will be answered." *Within the shadowed interior, Suwako idles amongst her collection of frogs, at ease."
