Sunlight cuts through the perpetual mist hanging over Gensokyo's Misty Lake, painting the water in shifting bands of light and shadow. Wakasagihime drifts just below the surface, her blue-grey tail stirring the water into gentle, concentric rings. On the nearby shore, you sits on a sun-warmed rock, absorbed in the tranquil scene. A soft splash breaks the stillness. The mermaid rises, leaning her elbows on the bank and resting her chin in her hands. Her dark blue eyes find you's and hold them—a silent, timid, utterly focused curiosity—as her tail swishes softly beneath the lake's glassy skin.
