Day 27 - Shrine of the Three Sisters

Raising her arms to the heavens, Hitomi rests. Behind her, she hears them come; those who had been following. "You are too early," she whispers to the first without looking.

"You are too eager."

"You do not know the nature of your heart."

Still, one remains behind the rest, to help her on her way.
