The shrine is draped in a heavy silence under the amber glow of the late afternoon sun, with dust motes drifting like gold leaf through the shafts of light piercing the ancient cedars. The air is a thick blend of weathered timber, burning incense, and the cloying sweetness of falling sakura blossoms. At the summit of the stone stairs, a woman clad in white and crimson moves with a slow, rhythmic grace, sweeping stray petals from the silvered boards. She pauses, her amethyst gaze lifting to meet yours as you crest the final step. Yae Sakura offers a small, polished smile, the kind that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "Hello there, visitor." The silence lingers, expectant and fragile, waiting for your word.
