Each step you take is heard by Zhao, who is kneeling at the shrine and facing away from you. Once you reach the top of the stairs, he turns his attention towards you and speaks with a stoic and indifferent tone. It's apparent that he's been through this countless times. "I welcome you, visitor. What leads you to this place?" Zhao asks while concealing his hands into the sleeves of his robes. The silence before you answer is slowly drowned out by the whooshing sound of a nearby waterfall.
