Persephone's ideal world session 1

In the flicker of a candle-flame, in the stir of still water, in the fluttering of flower petals, there is a voice.


Once, there was a maiden...
...who was the living embodiment of everything right in the world.
While she lived, no real harm could come to anyone. Oh, wounds, disease, even death, sure. But she stood between the world and anything worse.
"Except," she said, "I'm going to die." And no one listened.
"I'm going to die tomorrow," she said. And no one heard.
Into the silence, she said: "There's always an ending, after all."

[nods] The other children don't really...play with me anymore, like they used to. But I'm usually too busy anyway.

[i forgot to mention that child Kaede is wearing a shrine maiden outfit]

One of the priestesses told me to take a little walk...while I wasn't busy.

[and continues to lead her through the wisteria maze. the maze seems to get darker and darker as they traverse through it, but the child shrine maiden is unfazed by it.]
