Reimu was sitting on the shrine steps late one dark evening with a new moon.

A pair of golden lights appeared in nearby brush. Are those fireflies? Reimu thought. ...no, they're not flickering. It must be a fairy's eyes.

Then another pair of lights appeared, and then another, and another. Reimu soon found herself surrounded by dozens, or hundreds, of tiny unblinking yellow eyes, silently fixated on her, watching her...

...waiting.

The normally fearless Reimu backed through the open shrine doorway, closed the door, went to her futon, and crawled into it, resolving to herself to never ever come out again.
