>You heard northward, toward the Netherworld. The northern part of Gensokyo tends to be the more quiet region, and this is certainly true today. You can see the Nameless Mount in the distance as you pass by, it's collection of lilies starting to grow. But by and large, you keep close to the eastern mountains. You see faeries from time to time in the small valleys, and in a couple cases glimpse a mountain goat or two, but little of real interest.

Soon the columns at the entrance loom before you, but only for a few moments before you fly between them and follow the stairs up. The mountains open up to a thick, budding forest, while grey clouds hang heavy in the sky, threatening rain. Hakugyokurou looms ahead, its gates open. As you make your way up, someone steps through them.
>Rather than the gardener you expect, it seems to be a red-haired woman in a purple kimono, her hair tied back with a bow. She regards you with a tilted head, and you're certain you've seen her lurking around the mansion on Open House day. Not quite a troublemaker, but someone that you felt the need to keep a discreet eye on.
>"...You're not a ghost," she says at length.
