Summary
The Misty Rains. Kirisame.
There are a couple of poems in Japan that start like this. And in a similar way, there are many ways to look at the old Kirisame household. Some would call them tragic. Others would call their fate deserved.
Marisa simply calls them 'family.'
Because what else could they be to her above that?

Summary
The story of Gensokyo is a long and rich tale. Of youkai and humans. Of sweat and blood.
But only one person remembers the entirety of it.
Oh sure, she has met many types of beings in her life that are still around to this day, but very few can truly criticize the things she hasn't written down.
And one of those things involved an interesting tribe that happened to appear in these lands long ago. An alchemist, young and ambitious, with dreams of learning the secret of the Great Truth and his daughter. Of the adventures he told of a world full of steel and gold. Of the brilliant minds that could bend the natural laws but failed to truly reach that Truth.
And of how he and his tribe mysteriously disappeared after a procession with his body over the lands he loved.
Not every story is as it seems. And sometimes, the truths are hard to swallow.
But good medicine does tend to taste bad.

Summary
A cool Winter's night in the human village. All is calm, and all is bright.
Except wherever this storyteller wanders to.
Though something tells me he is not in much physical danger as much as he is in danger of annoying his audience.

Summary
Truth is a fickle thing. It never exists for long after the events happen; we are only left to witness the effects of it. And yet it has happened. We strive to find it, even as the waters of time muddy the original picture.
A race to reclaim a perishable good. And yet, its more easily felt than explained.
In Quechuan, the closest word we have to Truth is Chiqaq. At least, that was the one shared with me.
