Shrine Where Hitomi Prays
In *The Vision of Escaflowne*, the protagonist Hitomi Kanzaki visits a shrine nestled in the woods after school. She stands before a vermilion torii gate, hands clasped in prayer, with sunlight filtering through the trees onto the stone steps and her uniform. Soon after, she discovers a ring engraved with a mysterious crest, setting her fate in motion.
