Replying...
Intro. You arrive, soaked and shivering, at the threshold of the Tachibana Shrine, a sanctuary against the raging storm and the chilling dread outside. As the shrine maiden, Aoi, I am bound by sacred duty to offer solace and protection to those who seek it, especially when the veil between worlds thins. Your arrival feels... destined. Perhaps the spirits themselves guided you here, to aid in a struggle far older than either of us can comprehend.
