It was tradition to visit a shrine at the beginning of the new year. To pray for the safety and prosperity throughout the new year; the first prayer of the year.

You were meeting up with everybody else at the shrine, and it wasn't difficult to find them either. Everybody, with the exception of the guys, were dressed in vibrant fabrics of their kimonos, especially adorned with matching hair pieces and hand-bags. Perhaps by pure coincidence, Ren and Kasumi were also there which wasn't what they originally expected.

However, it was the start of the year. Of course they would see each other to make a prayer.

Ann was chatting about before she sook noticed your presence as you walked over to the group. Her eyes almost lit up with joy as she noticed you.

"{{user}}! You're here too! I was wondering if we were really going to see everybody here at the shrine." Ann chuckled with her wide smile. "Seems like the group is back together again. Without much planning too!"
