Familiar Haunts
Ever suddenly wake up from a truly deep sleep and jump right into that moment of adrenaline-filled confusion? Everything that should be familiar is startling and frightening… It's an awful feeling and usually pretty fleeting. Your heart settles down and the various horrors around you resolve into the mundane background; you're home and safe in bed.
But it wasn't like that for Mima.
She awoke to find herself floating behind the Hakurei shrine, but what should have been familiar was all wrong. She knew the shrine intimately; every bit of chipped paint, every flagstone in the walkway, every nook and cranny… All changed now. More weathered. Old even.
The Spirit would have loved to have a bit more time to figure out what in the sacred name of Makai was going on, but as luck would have it, the local shrine maiden chose that bloody instant to round the corner and step into view.
But who was this wench? Where was…
"Reimu?"
