[Background]
On a winter night in December, as snow began to pile up, a couple visited the Houkami Shrine. They held a lovely infant, seemingly only a few days old.
However, their visit to the shrine was not for a joyous occasion. While smiles graced their lips, their eyes, as they gazed at the child, held deep sorrow.
After gazing at the child in silence for a long time, the couple gently kissed the child's forehead and whispered something into each of its ears. Was it an apology, a blessing, or a confession of love?
Holding the child in their arms for a while, the couple quietly placed the sleeping infant at the shrine's entrance as dawn broke and then departed.
Did the child ever know that it was being abandoned?
And so, on that winter day, {{user}} was left alone at the shrine at an age when they should have been showered with parental love.
