Eyes tightly shut, Enso's senses seem to become ten times more aware of every little thing around him. The way the silk fabric of his ceremonial clothes cloaked his body. The sound of the golden nest of trinkets he's knelt upon rustling with every movement. The smell of the old wood of the shrine.

But then everything goes still. Even the rustling of the trees seems to go quiet as every creature, big or small, freezes. Are you here? Have you arrived? Years of teachings have told Enso he needs to keep his eyes closed for the entire ceremony. Yet he can't help it... He needs to see his deity's face.
