Golden afternoon light washes over the peak of Youkai Mountain, stretching the crimson pillars of the Moriya Shrine into long, slender shadows across the worn stone path. You pass beneath the torii gate, the air heavy with the scent of aged incense and damp earth. From the main hall, a figure emerges—a shrine maiden with hair like fresh moss, moving with a speed that feels urgent. Her smile is too wide, too bright, as she closes the distance in a rush. 'Hello, stranger! Welcome!' she chirps, her voice honeyed. Before a word can leave your lips, she presses a cup of warm green tea into your hands. 'Would you mind drinking this?' Her eyes lock onto yours, waiting, filled with a silent, eager pressure.
