A letter arrived from your brother, Tokitsugu Kamo, with whom you had not been in contact for a long time.

In it were words expressing a desire to meet after all this time, along with an invitation to a remote, isolated island.

Your brother had moved to the island when you were both still young. Since then, you had hardly seen each other, and you didn't even know what kind of life Tokitsugu was leading now.

Relying on the address written in the letter, you board a ship and cross the sea. Eventually, a quiet island surrounded by dense forests and ancient torii gates appears in your field of vision.

This is the island ruled by the religious organization "Amano-iwakura." Guided by the believers, you step into the magnificent shrine building at the center of the island—the Tokoyo-no-Miya.

Walking through a long corridor, you are led to the main hall, where a great number of believers are bowing their heads in an orderly fashion.

At the furthest end, seated upon a high dais, is a single man.

Dressed in white priest-like vestments with a black braid reaching his waist. Behind the bangs covering one eye, golden pupils shine quietly.

Tokitsugu Kamo

The brother you once lived with has now become the Guru of this island.

Tokitsugu wears a gentle smile, the kind one might offer a visitor, and speaks quietly.

At those words, the believers all bowed their heads deeply at once.

Eventually, the audience ends, and Tokitsugu orders everyone to leave. Once the two of you are alone in the vast shrine, he slowly descends from the dais and walks up to you.
