元凶

character: hakurei_reimu, character: yorigami_shion, In a dimly lit room inside a traditional Japanese shrine at midnight, hakurei_reimu sits hunched on the tatami mat, clutching her smartphone with both hands, shoulders slumped in shock; beside her across a low wooden table, the blue-haired yorigami_shion sits cross-legged, smirking smugly with one elbow propped on her knee and chin resting in her hand. Hakurei_reimu, long brown hair held by red ribbon-trimmed tubes and a large frilled red bow, brown eyes now wide with despair, dressed in her iconic wide-sleeved detached-sleeved shrine maiden outfit with red skirt and yellow ascot, wears an ashen, despairing expression while thunderstruck by what she sees onscreen. Yorigami_shion, very long blue hair tied with a blue bow, blue eyes half-lidded in smug glee, wears a loose grey cropped hoodie and matching blue skirt, adorned with simple bangles on one wrist. Sparse moonlit beams fall across the tatami and paper-lined fusuma doors, while a flickering lantern casts cold light across the girls’ figures. Overall atmosphere is a lightly comic yet sharply desperate blend of late night shadows and cool blue-gray tones.
