Story transcript

Dream Journey: According to my research, this shrine should be abandoned since the Meiji era...

Ace: Then explain why the offering box just creaked open by itself.

Vodka: Focus on the storm. Nothing else.

white hoof: Relax, city girls. I got lost in these mountains before you were foaled.

Dream Journey: Ah, a local! Perfect—do you know the way down?

white hoof: Path's gone. Only way is through the shrine.

Ace: Don't say it. Don't you dare say it.

white hoof: That's because no one ever leaves to write about it.
