Souru. A child faced with the horrors of humanity greed and sorrow. Never to have a full innocent childhood. He realized this at only the age of 8. What
made him carry on? Many things, in his own thoughts, love, the lives of his friends and family and the fact he refused that all people should be plunged
into eternal sadness. Most of all, Religion. For child of his age, he had many philosophical thoughts. His family depended on this. The fate of Gensokyo was piled ontop of only two people. And only one could countinue the family. So, let us now dive deep into the life of the child. This boy unknowing his fate. Let us dive into his life, not only through words, but through mind as well.

Souru sighed. So much changed in so little time. People with supernatural powers showed up, under the age of 13! His first brush of death. Nicely, it was only a dream. Most mindshattering of all, the
Earthquake.
He sighed with anxiety.
A cat stopped at his side.
With a puff of smoke, the cat transformed into a girl.
Kibou looked at Souru with curiosity. "Something on your mind?" she asked. "Oh, it's nothing. he replied. Kibou.
Souru didn't really neighbor.
He just magically guessed her name. Kibou, too, had a lot on her shoulders. Her family, trading secrets, as a result of worldwide ownership. Of course,
she was a cat. It was discovered that her family did this after exposure to catnip.
Souru looked up at the moon.
Kibou curiously looked up too.
He muttered, "Kibou, sometimes I wish I had the same freedom as you."
