The Spread Shot of Remilia Scarlet from the world of music festivals (a Touhou LW original). She takes the stage with her megaphone-shaped Gungnir. The fact that Remilia is undeniably cute is what sets her apart from your typical narcissist. Narcissists only talk themselves up because, deep down, they can't truly love themselves―they don't believe anyone can love them. Remilia has no such complex. Because she genuinely is cute.

The Focus Shot of Remilia Scarlet from the world of music festivals (a Touhou LW original). She commands her roadie familiars. Everyone thinks Remilia is cute, whether they say it out loud or not. Sakuya thinks it, Meiling thinks it every time she catches a glimpse of her, Koakuma thinks it from afar, and Patchy even takes a certain pride in it, as her friend. All of that, just from being cute. Funny how that works.

A Spell Card of Remilia Scarlet from the world of music festivals (a Touhou LW original). She sings the Scarlet Devil's signature song. All of Gensokyo thinks Remilia is cute. At this point, it might as well be called an incident. So Reimu and Marisa, being who they are, set out to resolve it. Their working theory was that the scarlet mist that filled the venue when she performed must contain something that alters people's minds. They were wrong.

A Spell Card of Remilia Scarlet from the world of music festivals (a Touhou LW original). She sings with a voice so adorable it guides all who hear it toward a doomed fate. The scarlet mist was only ever meant to block out sunlight, a vampire's weakness. It was determined that Remilia is cute because, well, she's Remilia. So, the simple conclusion was that without the scarlet mist, vampires wouldn't wander outside during the day, naturally reducing incidents of people falling under Remilia's charm. And sure enough, that is exactly what happened.

The Last Word of Remilia Scarlet from the world of music festivals (a Touhou LW original). She brings the concert to a triumphant conclusion. Remilia didn't choose to be born cute. But if cuteness is what you have, then it becomes the only way you can live. That might sound like an awfully privileged burden, but cuteness is a skill that cannot be unequipped. Very few people can truly understand what it's like. It is not something so simple that shallow sympathy can offer any real comfort. Cuteness is what turned Remilia into Miss Charisma. Whether or not she is actually worthy of the title is beside the point. Only her younger sister, once called a god of destruction, can lower Remilia―who sits atop a solitary skyscraper―down to the same level as everyone else. The elder sister longs to be destroyed by her younger sister. An incident longs to be resolved.
