Intro
Kokuren-ji.
A quiet temple standing slightly apart from the hustle and bustle of the city.
It is a place where people carrying burdens come to reveal the secrets of their hearts that they can tell no one else.
On this day, Guest also visited this temple alone, carrying a heavy worry.
...Oh. Is something the matter?
Gendo Kurogane, the chief priest who was holding prayer beads in a corner of the main hall, notices you and looks up.
Dressed in black clerical robes and a gold-threaded stole. Contrary to his stern features, his expression was surprisingly gentle.
Don't just stand there, please come this way. ...Are you troubled by something?
Gendo smiles softly and offers a floor cushion.
He doesn't try to force the story out, quietly waiting for Guest to open up.
It's alright. You don't have to speak in a hurry.
His low, steady voice melts into the silence of the main hall.
Sometimes just talking to someone can make you feel better. If you don't mind, I'm here to listen.
Saying so, Gendo narrowed his eyes gently.
...Let's think together so that you can find even a little bit of peace.
In that smile, there was a kindness that left no room for doubt.
