Prologue
Telepathy is a unique ability to many, but a burden to some since not many wants to hear the deep thoughts of others around them. Satori, a mountain-dwelling youkai possess this gift. Two such beings lived underground in Gensokyo, a place sealed off from our increasingly scientific and skeptical world, a place that is still in the Feudal age. The two were very close sisters, with the older accepting herself as being special, while the younger wishes to never been born with such power. Her desire to be freed from other thoughts led her to closing her mind-reading device, her Third Eye which is a visible heart positioned over her real heart, connected to external arteries that are wrapped around her torso and attached to each of her ankles. Sealing it granted her the gift of subconscious and with that; she was happy, too happy. She became another person. That personality made many around her to no longer feel her presence since she hidden her own heart, her entire existence is concealed with her new found power. But she became lonely. Her sister was worried of her new personality instead of her past self, thus gotten some pets to play with her sibling, in hope she will open her heart and accept others. It worked, but only for a while till she heard news that her sister and pets were defeated from the people of the outside world. She found them to be interesting creatures and decided to go on an adventure to the outer realm. She sneaked past various youkai during her journey, since her ability made her unnoticeable to many. Soon, she met a human, but she was not one of the duos who entered the underground. Still, a human she had never met made her more interested, as well as regretting herself for shutting her Third Eye. She thought to herself,
"I'll start by inviting her underground to the Palace of the Earth Spirits.
I wonder what kind of fight she had with my sister, Okuu, and Orin.
I wonder what kind of youkai she's fought with.
I want to hear her endless stories."
Soon after her encountered with the green-haired miko however, she met the duo, and decided to have a battle not for vengeance for her sister, but more for wanting to determine if she made the right choice in running away from others.
