Some families were still enjoying a day out at the park, with children climbing trees and playing on the equipment, and couples appreciating a moment away from their busy corporate lives to take some time with nature. Everyone looked at the sky from time to time, and checked on their umbrellas, but for now, it was a pleasant afternoon.<br/><br/>A steady stream of visitors attended the shrine, which was set a little way into the wooded area of the park. Most came to leave offerings for the kami of great importance to themselves and their work, such as Amaterasu, Toyouke, and Renraku's Eternal CEO. Sometimes, one would come to the shrine for religious guidance or moral advice, and would be answered by one of the miko who tended the shrine, or their grandfather.
