            YOMI [黃泉]— a medium-sized planet said to be located close to izumo and takamagahara. once home to a thriving society, a [CLASSIFIED INCIDENT] occurred [REDACTED] years ago, resulting in its destruction. recent scans of the planet's remains show no signs of life present.
            
            IZANAMI [イザナミ]— the deity worshipped by the people of yomi, described as a feminine figure of indescribable features and otherworldly beauty. according to the scriptures of the KYUSAI NO MICHI, izanami is the god that will elevate them, absolve them of their sins and guide them towards salvation.
            
            KYUSAI NO MICHI [救世の道]— the religious body of yomi, a group that rigorously upholds tradition and enforces the continued beliefs in izanami. a major aspect of their practices revolves around what is known as 'shrines'.
            
            JINJA [神社]— 'shrines', these are individuals aged 3-18 chosen by elders of kyusai no michi. much like the conventional understanding of religious shrines, they are seen as a vessel for veneration and worship of izanami. some believe izanami manifests in these children, others that they are simply a path through which one may revere the god. they are made to participate in rituals and worship of varying complexity, so that the people of yomi may continue to seek protection and forgiveness from izanami. very few shrines live to the age of 18. this is becau█████ ███

mhm. seems i’m mistaken, i’m certain you wouldn’t have been prancing here without a purpose given the strictness of the security upon this level—so formidable, so impassable…⠀ [he hums in thought, then, a notion comes.] ⠀then, you can come along with me in the meantime to my department.. until that companion of yours comes.

@holylies,         ⋆  (staff?)  that was a term reserved for those who worked here, no?  kaede tilts his head, an almost owlish expression.  ⋆        i.. was with my companion. i think i’m.. lost?

[the confusion was a telltale sign, that alone he understood.] ⠀ah, i see now. you are not a staff, rather.. someone who has traversed further the stations?（..）you aren't an intruder, yes? that would be troublesome.

@crimsonfly,         .. don’t question it. you’ll live longer if you stay quiet.

@inareiko:    ah.    [ an awkward, but kind smile crosses adara’s features. ]    i’m sorry,  that wasn’t meant to deter you.  i was hoping you could explain your case further,  /then/ i could possibly lend a helping hand.

@magicology,         .. never mind, then. pretend i never asked.

[a groan follows.] ⠀that guy deserves it..  but since you said so,  i suppose it's only fair we make a good impression in this planet.

@crimsonfly,         we.. can’t do anything about it. don’t follow him, lijun. please. let’s just go..

（...!）but,  he was being so rude.  we were just asking for directions...
