"This is... nice I guess." You said as you floated in a void. Nothing but doors that floated around you. Doors in every direction for as far as the eye can see. You floated closer to one and looked inside and to your surprise you saw Reisen making medicine.

"I wonder how (Y/N)'s doing." You heard her say to herself as she continued to make medicine. You made a mental note to visit Eientei again. You then continued to float around looking into a couple doors. You saw things like three people practicing music, an orange hair woman standing on what looked like the moon, and finally, some weird temple that felt as it was calling you. You shook off the thought as you wondered if anyone could be here.

"Who are you?" As if answering your question, a voice spoke from behind you. You did your best to turn around and you saw a girl sitting on a chair with blonde hair. She was currently looking at you with an amused expression.

"Hi." You waved at the blonde girl that was sitting on the floating chair in front of you. Everything was quiet for a few moments as you waited for her to speak. After a couple minutes she finally talked to you.

"How did you get in here?" She asked.

"There was a door open and I walked through it." You told her. She sighed in annoyance as she muttered to herself.

"Punish Mai for leaving doors open later." You heard her say, wondering who this Mai person was. She then looked up at you. "So Mortal, who are you?"

"This mortal is known as (Y/N)." You answered jokingly, much to her amusement.

"Well then (Y/N), I am Okina Matara. The secret goddess of the back door." She said.

"So no one knows about you?" You asked.

"Yes, it's what secret means." She said as you gave her a dead stare, one of your eyes slightly twitching in annoyance.

"Don't make me use this spray bottle." You said as you slowly reached for the bottle for your waist. She looked at you smugly, daring you to do it.

"Please, you wouldn't spray a goddess." She said, but then she felt water being sprayed in her face. She was surprised as she used her sleeve to wipe her face. "How could you spray me with water!?"

"I told you I'd do it." You said while putting the bottle back. You then went back to the topic. "So, where exactly am I? There's nothing but doors all over the place." You asked, looking at the void around you, still nothing but doors in every direction.

"Right now you are in the Land of the Back Door." She said as you gave her a stupefied expression.

"Couldn't think of a better name?" You thought to yourself as she continued on. 

"The doors you see here all lead to different places in Gensokyo." She said as a door opened behind her to reveal the human village. You could see the people walking around, going about their every day life.
