She may be a spot of red among the green willows, but it'd be best not to mistake her for a holiday decoration. Not like she has much of anyone to be festive with, at best she could spend some time with a few friends, the werewolf and the mermaid. She doesn't quite have anyone special to her though. Perhaps she'd cheer up more during these times if she did.
A mind reader can't escape all the cheery moods, all the festive feelings at a time like the end of a year. Sadly for Satori, these feelings all lead to her worrying about her sister. Who knows what Koishi is getting up to? Hopefully she shows up again for the holidays.
A girl whose mind and spirit are so full of faith, she sees even the gods of which are set to vanish from a world of the faithless. While she may have now found her place in the world thanks to taking a role as a shrine maiden, she still has ties to that world which she left. The holidays arrive, and while the residents of Gensokyo would only see Christmas as a neat thing, for Sanae it's an ever important holiday she'll remember from her time in the outside. More or less this post is just an excuse to share ι’¨η₯ž γ€Œγƒ–γƒ¬γ‚€γƒ–γƒ»γ‚¬γƒΌγƒ«γ€ again. It's been stuck in my head for days now.
