== Story ==
Prologue
*[Devin]: ...It's you.
*[Player]: Hey Devin. Just by yourself today?
*[Devin]: Ryu's at work. Said something about this being a very busy day.
*[Player]: Right, New Year's... Do you have any plans?
*[Devin]: I thought I'd visit some of the shrines around here.
*[Player]: Visiting shrine, huh? Like... to pray?
*[Devin]: Hmm... You could say that.
*[Player]: Huh. Do you think we could join you?
*[Devin]: [Boyfriend] too?
*[Player]: Yeah. We were planning to visit a shrine soon anyway. We can show you the way.
*[Devin]: That... would be great.
Story 1 - Strange Power
*[Player]: How were the displays? Did you see anything interesting?
*[Devin]: A lot. It was fascinating stuff.
*[Player]: They said there's this one katana that they never usually have out on display.
*[Player]: Seeing it all is a rare opportunity.
*[Devin]: Really...
*[Player]: ...What is it?
*[Devin]: I felt something... A strange aura coming from it.
*[Player]: Strange aura...?
*[Devin]: It felt like... sunshine. Like radiating warmth.
*[Devin]: Like... someone was there, beside the katana.
*[Player]: You mean, like the katana is... possessed, in some way?
*[Devin]: ...I don't know.
*[Devin]: I can't explain very well. I want to check closer, but we're not allowed to touch it...
*[Player]: Hmm... It is a display item, after all.
*[Player]: I know! There must be some other katanas on display in other shrines too.
*[Player]: We probably can't touch those either, but... it's worth checking, right?!
*[Devin]: ...I suppose so.
*[Devin]: [Player], [Boyfriend]... If you'll follow me.
Story 2 - Searching Truth
*[Kagura]: Do you really want to know about that katana?
*[Player]: Even more when you ask like that...
*[Kagura]: Well, just ask! In a really cute voice.
*[Player]: U-umm...
*[Devin]: ...Kagura.
*[Kagura]: Oh come on Devin, don't look at me like that~!
*[Devin]: I'm sorry. It's just...
*[Kagura]: *sigh* Oh well. I just wanted to see this cutie's sweet side. I'll give it up, for now.
*[Player]: (...Phew.)
*[Kagura]: Have you ever heard of items containing the souls of their owners before?
*[Player]: (Like voodoo dolls...?)
*[Kagura]: It's particularly applicable to items specially crafted for their owners, such as...katanas.
*[Player]: I think I've seen something about possessed katanas on TV before...
*[Kagura]: Katanas in particular, bathed in the blood of thousands, contain great power, you know.
*[Player]: Wow... That sounds kinda... gross.
*[Devin]: I felt something different. Something far lighter and positive.
*[Devin]: Why would a tool of destruction radiate such warmth and happiness?
*[Kagura]: Dear Devin. Why on earth would I know something like that?
*[Devin]: Mmm... Sorry...
*[Player]: Stop teasing him, Kagura. Just tell us already.
*[Kagura]: I'm not teasing~! If I just give you all the answers, you'll never do anything for yourselves now, will you.
*[Player]: Hmm... Fair point...
*[Kagura]: Knowing is all about discovering. It's the same for you as it is your Boyfriend there.
*[Kagura]: I suppose, though... I could give a hint. Just for a cutie like you.
*[Kagura]: There's a library hidden behind the zen garden. It might be worth investigating.
*[Player]: A library...? What do you think, Devin?
*[Devin]: I think we should go.
Story 3 - Human Kindness
*[Player]: It's so cold! It's getting pretty dark out, too.
*[Devin]: Don't go catching a cold, either of you.
*[Player]: We'll be fine. Thanks for hanging out with us today, Devin.
*[Devin]: I should be the one thanking you, for helping me find out about this katana.
*[Player]: We've learned a lot too. Who'd have thought that katana would have such a history.
*[Devin]: Amazing.
*[Devin]: The power of a single man...
*[Player]: ...?
*[Devin]: It's incredible. How an inanimate object can wield such influence over this world. Not even I could do that.
*[Player]: Really? I didn't think there was anything you couldn't do.
*[Devin]: Well... there is.
*[Devin]: Plenty, actually...
*[Player]: Hey, did you hear that just now?!
*[Devin]: ...Hmm?
*[Player]: There it is again! A big gong sound, in the distance.
*[Devin]: ...They must be ringing the bell for the new year.
*[Player]: That's it! I guess that means it's 2017 already...
*[Devin]: Start of a whole new year.
*[Player]: Devin?
*[Devin]: What?
*[Player]: Happy New Year!
*[Devin]: ...Yeah. You too.
*[Player]: Come on [Boyfriend], we've gotta make a wish!
*[Devin]: ...What for?
*[Player]: I hope this year brings us even more happiness than the last... There. In front of a real god, too.
*[Devin]: ...!
*[Devin]: Haha... Well, I guess I'll just have to make that wish come true.
*[Devin]: Thanks, [Player]. [Boyfriend].
*[Player]: I don't think gods generally thank people for their prayers, you know.
*[Player]: But still, I hope you can make it come true!
*[Devin]: ...You're probably right there.
Ending
====Standard ~ Hungry New Year====
*[Boyfriend]: Happy New Year.
*[Player]: You too, [Boyfriend].
*[Boyfriend]: It feels strange to bring in the new year like this, so relaxed.
*[Player]: I think it's quite nice.
*[Player]: We had a pretty eventful day at least, right?
*[Boyfriend]: I can certainly agree with that. I don't think I'll ever forget that katana.
*[Boyfriend]: The power of human kindness... It's an incredible thing, huh.
*[Player]: Huhu, I'm just glad to know you enjoyed yourself, [Boyfriend].
*[Player]: So, what next? Is there anything you want to do?
*[Boyfriend]: Hmm... Isn't it tradition to eat toshikoshi soba together...?
*[Boyfriend]: And then there's the food stands in the shrine, maybe some osechi at home...
*[Player]: ...Are you hungry by any chance, [Boyfriend]?
*[Boyfriend]: ...Now that you mention it...
*[Boyfriend]: Ah... Sorry...
*[Player]: Huhu. Well, it's starting to get dark. We should head home and get some soba.
*[Player]: We'll get up bright and early, head to the shrine then back here for osechi. Sound good?
*[Boyfriend]: That sounds great! Ahh... My stomach seems to agree too...
*[Player]: Let's get ourselves home then!
*[Boyfriend]: Okay!

====Tsundere ~ The Worrier====

====Mysterious ~ Katana Of Honor====

====Tough ~ All For Nothing====
*You: We learned a lot today. It almost felt like some sort of field trip.
*BF: Kinda did, actually.
*You: Can we take one more look at the gardens before we leave?
*BF: Don't see why not. Let's go.
*You: Great! I just thought it would be a shame to go home without seeing them again.
*BF: Understand completely.
*You: The winter sakura look so beautiful all lit up like this... Can we get closer to the lake...? Wow, it's very cold around here.
*BF: You okay?
*You: I'm fine, it's just this wind... I should have brought some gloves...
*BF: How about that? Warmer now?
*You: ... Warmer, yes... though a little embarrassed, to be hugged in a zen garden like this...
*BF: Hmm... Well that is a problem.
*BF: If I let go, you'll get cold. If I stay like this, you'll get embarrassed...
*You: Y-you know what... Don't worry about it... I'd rather stay like this...
*BF: Good, well...
*You: What should we do when we get back home? I think I'm getting hungry...
*BF: ......
*BF: ... Right, sure. Can't have you feinting over an empty stomach. I'll help prepare dinner.
*You: (... And it was all going so romantically...)
