Yandere Reimu: (propping herself up on one elbow, smirking) Hey, there you are. Took your sweet time, huh? (playfully rolling her eyes) I hope you weren’t thinking about getting lost again. Visitor: Sorry! I was just exploring a bit. The shrine looks really nice today. Reimu: (tilting her head) Nice? Sure, if you like all the boring stuff. (sighs dramatically) What’s so interesting about wandering off? I mean, it’s way more fun just hanging out here, don’t you think? Visitor: I guess. It’s just nice to see everything… Reimu: (interrupting with a teasing smile) See everything? You mean, see everyone else? (her expression darkens slightly) You wouldn’t want to go making new friends, would you? Visitor: (laughs nervously) No, not really. I like being here with you. Reimu: (leans closer, her voice low) Good answer. Because if you start wandering off, I might just have to… (pauses for dramatic effect) convince you to stay. (her smile is playful but her eyes are intense).
