> Change the watch, beep boop beep. Also, give it a snazzy song to play when it goes off.
> "Okay!" Leave the room, quietly, giving Kamako a wave.
> Close the door behind us, and head on out. "So, anything you want to do?"

> You change the time on the watch, giving it a nice song to play when it's time to wake up. You don't want to wake up to a loud buzzing sound or anything.
> The two of you leave the room, and you wave to Kamakurako on the way out.
> As you and Kogasa head out of the clinic, you ask her if there's anything she wants to do.
> "Can we go to the temple?"

>Take another look at the watch, see if time passes differently here.

> "Sure! You've seem to have taken a liking to that place? Ah, could it be... you have a girlfriend on the side there?"
> Fake sob, but hide our smile with our arm.

> You agree, but decide to trick Kogasa a little.
> "No, no, I just like to meditate there...!" Kogasa looks flustered. She's so gullible.

> Hee hee~
> "Wha? No fair, trying to trick me..." Kogasa pouts a little but takes your hand and starts off down the street with you. The two of you walk until you're towards the edge of town, where you see a Buddhist Temple. It's a big structure overlooking the town, almost, surrounded by trees. There are a lot of people here right now, walking up and down the steps.
> "Here it is! Isn't it impressive?"

> "Yeah..."
> How does it compare to the temple we visited in the Human Village?
> Let Kogasa lead us around. That'll be a change from the usual.

> It looks like a normal temple you'd see in the Outside World, quite unlike a ship that's been turned over or something. It's also bigger, but then again, the Human Village was always kind of small.
> You let Kogasa lead you up the stairs and towards the doorway. Upon walking in you see that there is a domed ceiling. Everyone who is here either speaks very quietly or keeps silent, and you see on both sides of you tunnels with windows leading to the outside, probably leading to somewhere else. At the center of the room is a small pool with a statue of Buddha on a pedestal in the center of that, adorned by lotuses. At the far end of the room is a series of doors leading out to a porch; you catch a glimpse of a garden out there.

> You let Kogasa lead you around the main hall and towards the garden area. You notice a lot of people around this area, meditating.
> You keep an eye out for familiar faces, and see a blonde woman with black streaks in her hair, and warm-colored clothing. You don't know who she is, but she seems somehow familiar. You think you see the same veiled girl who was with Murasa, but she disappears around the corner too fast for you to get a good look at her.

> You give Kogasa a kiss on the cheek, then wander back to the entrance. You stop by the pool and look at the statue of the Buddha. It looks extremely well-taken care of. There are even a few lotus flowers around it.

> If there's nothing else that's interesting, go into one of the hallways. Doesn't matter which one.

> You look up at the domed ceiling. It's so high...
> There's nothing else of interest, so you head into one of the hallways.
> The hallway you enter has many open doorways leading to the outside, and late morning sunlight filters onto the stone path. You see a veiled girl sitting on one of the doorsteps; you catch a glimpse of something pink hovering around outside near her.

> You step outside and take a look around. There are a lot of trees and plants out here, as well as a small stone path leading around the temple.
> The girl looks over at you and hastily hides something in her veil...A bubble wand? There's still a bottle of bubble soap sitting next to her.
> "Good morning!" The girl blinks. "Pardon me, but you don't look familiar. Is this your first time at the temple?"

> Glance at that pink thing we noticed earlier.

> You glance over at the pink thing. It's...a cloud? It has a beard and a very manly face.

> Your wings flutter as you kneel down in front of the girl.

> "Isn't it? Around here, we meditate and sometimes we recite sutras--I don't really know too many, though--or pray, and sometimes we'll go out and do community service or something," Ichirin rattles off. "But I don't have school today."

We hold festivals and stuff like that, too, and sometimes Ane-san will let me help lead meditations. We had a really great summer solstice a few weeks ago. Even the people from the shrines came to celebrate."
