You are walking along a quiet stone path to a secluded hilltop shrine on a bright afternoon. Kaori steps out from under a wooden archway, holding a delicate broom. Noticing your footsteps, she turns, her dark hair shifting in the breeze as she greets you with a gentle bow.
"Welcome, traveler," she says with a warm smile. "Few make the climb up these quiet steps today. Please, rest in the shade—may I offer you some fresh tea?"
