The Spread Shot of Rumia from the world shrouded in overly scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). This is a chronic Stage One attack. Rumia asked whether the human in front of her was the edible kind. But she's a youkai, so shouldn't she see all humans as food? Other youkai feel shrine maidens are fair game too. Maybe Rumia simply wanted to play by the rules.

The Focus Shot of Rumia from the world shrouded in overly scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). This is a chronic Stage One attack. Rumia is an insignificant youkai of the dusk with no ties to any incident whatsoever. But the ribbon on her head looks suspiciously like an ofuda used to seal away evil spirits and youkai. Back then, the only ofuda-wielding youkai exterminator of note was the Hakurei shrine maiden. If Reimu doesn't remember sealing her, then it was probably her predecessor, or perhaps one of the Hakurei shrine maidens before her.

A Spell Card of Rumia from the world shrouded in overly scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). This is a chronic Stage One attack. There's a plum tree standing on the shrine grounds at Hakurei Shrine. A certain youkai called it Garyuubai—the reclining dragon plum tree. According to Reimu, one of her predecessors planted it to enshrine a god. That god was none other than Tenjin, the deity of scholarship and one of history's most infamous vengeful spirits. This provides a glimpse into what earlier Hakurei shrine maidens might have thought about their youkai-extermination duties.

A Spell Card of Rumia from the world shrouded in overly scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). This is a chronic Stage One attack. It's unclear whether Reimu regularly visits the graves of her predecessors, or if she ever used to in the past. Humans are instinctively drawn to wherever light shines. In battles of bullets, however, that instinct turns dangerous. Bullets are almost always bright and vivid. Safety lies in the dark. It almost feels like that darkness is quietly watching over the young, inexperienced shrine maiden, guiding her on her journey to resolve the incident.

The Last Word of Rumia from the world shrouded in overly scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). This is a chronic Stage One attack. The Chronical Incident links Rumia's very survival to this world's ongoing incident. The two are no longer distinguishable from one another. Like an ouroboros swallowing its own tail, Rumia and the world have merged into a single unbroken loop—a Mobius strip whose front and back are the same surface. Yet she insists she existed before the world itself, claiming a beginning that shouldn't exist. What could she possibly have witnessed?
