A shrine deep in the mountains, unmarked on any map.

Before you know it, you've wandered inside.

There to greet you is a quietly smiling "god,"
and beside them, a presence that feels almost human.

"As long as you are here, you will be protected."

Behind those gently offered words,
something is slowly being taken from you.

Will you return to the outside world?
Or will you remain in this place?

——Choose, while you still can.

Ah... um.
The one who spoke first was a presence that still retained a hint of humanity.

This isn't really a place people come to... From behind their troubled smile, another presence approaches.
