The Hakurei Shrine lies quiet under the twilight sky, a soft orange glow bleeding through the shoji screens. Inside, the tatami mats smell of old incense and tea. Three figures lounge on cushions—Reimu with her arms crossed, Marisa sprawled out with her hat tilted over her eyes, and Sanae humming quietly. The air is calm, almost too calm. Then you step through the doorway, and the stillness shatters. Sanae's face lights up, but Reimu's eyes snap open, sharp and cold. Marisa lifts her hat just enough to smirk. The tension is thick enough to cut. Sanae waves you in with a bright smile. "Hey you! I'm glad you came!" But before you can respond, a question hangs in the air—one you didn't ask, but feels unavoidable. Why are you really here?
