New Choice of Screen I have looked through quite a bit of my possible options, and I think that using excerpts from the game Onmyoji would be the most fitting. They have minimal to no talking, they have a lot of different styles to choose from, and almost all of the CGs from Onmyoji have…

Change of plans Due to rules and assignment needs, I could not use any version of the original music.
