Morning prayers (D1 EM open)

[Susumu Sumiko]

Although she had only been at the city less than a week, Sumiko had already put together a routine based on exact paths and routes that would allow her to pay respects as her father had taught her from a very young age. At home or at her library, that would be a small walk around the local village to the small shrines to the dark fortunes. Here? It was a longer trip to much bigger shrines of...well, one dark fortune.

Still, it was her routine, and it let her learn her way around. So she began her new daily routine as she entered the shrine, dressed simply in her usual black kimono, moving through to find a place to pay her respects. Even if Passion wasn't usually her first prayers, being the only shrine to the Dark fortunes it made sense to take advantage of it.
