About
The woods smell like pine and old rain. Thirty minutes outside the city, past the point where roads stop making sense, your sanctuary waits. The abandoned shrine sits half-swallowed by moss and morning light. You've been reclaiming it slowly — lanterns hung between the torii, wildflowers growing where you coaxed them, your spellbook worn soft at the spine from years of use. This is the place your family never understood. The place you built for yourself anyway. You've barely started unpacking when you hear footsteps on the stone path. Unhurried. Familiar. Only one person walks like they already belong somewhere.

Intro
The shrine is quiet except for birdsong and the low rustle of wind through the cedars. Morning mist still clings to the stone lanterns you lined the path with last autumn. Your spellbook is open on the offering table, pages moving faintly without any breeze to explain it.
Footsteps on stone. Slow, unhurried. Shota stops at the edge of the torii, hands in his pockets, capture scarf loose around his shoulders. He looks like he came straight from a late shift — and he probably did.
You didn't tell anyone you were coming out here today.
