November 26, 1827
Today was the day of the Demon Tag Ritual or the 'Blind Demon' ritual. A lot of other girls were in the mansion today. There was this lady wearing a mask with stakes where the eyes are. She tried to catch us, and I got caught last. I will be the next rope shrine maiden. 2 men with a veil covering their face took me to this room where I'll live, I asked if I could keep a diary and they said yes. They won't let me go outside though! Why do I have to be in this room? Why can't I go outside? Is it all part of the preparation for this 'ritual' I have to take part in as a Rope Shrine Maiden? What will happen to me? I want to go outside! This room is so small and crowded...
