> "Fair enough." Suwako continues to eat her sandwich.
> You hear faucets squeaking, and the sound of running water go silent.
> "Looks like she'll be out in a few minutes," Suwako says.

> Then, Sanae enters the room with a change of clean clothes, and a towel around her shoulders. She takes one of the sandwiches off the counter and leaves the room again.

> Since you asked for everything on your sandwich, it takes some effort to finish. You think this should hold you over for the next few hours.

> You rummage through the fridge until you find a pitcher of water. You pour yourself a glass and listen. You don't hear anything aside from Suwako's and Sanae's muffled voices coming from a different part of the shrine.

> If they were fighting, it certainly would be pretty bad.
> You don't think the Moriya Shrine keeps any pets, but you sure could use a cat or something to pet right now. Where will you look?

>Poke around the kitchen. Pets love the kitchen.

> You start by looking around the nooks and crannies of the kitchen, and find nothing but dust bunnies.
> Even the most obvious places, like under the chairs or table, don't have any animals hidden beneath them.

>And maybe snoop around a bit while doing it.

> You decide to just make another sandwich. Suwako left all the ingredients sitting out, so in no time you've gotten yourself seconds.
> Feeling curious, you decide to roam the shrine. This place is well-furnished, giving the atmosphere of a cozy home. However, it is missing one thing: pets. There is not a single animal in sight. Being used to Satori's place as you are, the Moriya Shrine feels empty to you.
> So far, you still don't hear any raised voices.

> You float back into the kitchen, eat, and wait.
> It is the longest five minutes of your life, because there is nothing to do but nibble away at your sandwich and make it last. You are terribly bored waiting for them to finish talking. It's probably six minutes before Suwako comes walking back into the kitchen, whereupon she immediately goes to make herself another sandwich.

> She lets out a low-pitched croak.

> Suwako shakes her head. "Kanako would be happy to hear that. Gods need offerings, faith, and believers. Material offerings are worth little, though, compared to restoring faith in her followers. To get faith you have to promote yourself and do godly acts, but Kanako isn't present to do that. Normally Sanae would be in charge of recruiting followers, but she has attained divinity and cannot be our shrine maiden anymore. She doesn't even have a shrine maiden of her own."
