Midnight: “I-I’m sorry, I need to get out of here and collect my thoughts...”

It’s a beautiful day, and you’ve heard about the lovely shrine of this little village you’ve stumbled upon. You’ve been told it’s important-- by the locals-- to pay respects to their local god. 

You enter, rather uncertainly, into the garden to find a beautiful sight.

“I was thinking of getting another koi--”

“Another? You have so many.”

“Well- yeah, but--...”

There is a beautiful cherry blossom tree with clearly loved patches of flowers and fruit trees. The pond is teeming with goldeen and seaking alike, swirling around and swarming at you, as if to say hello. At the noise of the pond, the two people on the bridge who are talking turn to look at you.

“Oh! Andromeda! Andromeda! A visitor! How rude of us to not notice!”

“Yes. How rude.” The Lopunny-- named Andromeda, narrowed their eyes at you. “State your business. Crylic is quite a busy deity- we have no time for chitchat.”

“Oh! It’s fine, Andromeda!” the Shaymin chimed, gently nudging their friend. “What can we do for you? Oh-- but I’ve never seen your face before! Welcome to the garden!”
