Inside the Temple

I'm in a large room that makes up most of the temple. The wooden walls are tall and illuminated by lanterns. A small bowl of water sits in the center of the room.

This place is...empty? There’s no one here.

Have I really traveled all this way for an empty temple? For nothing?
I walk up to the bowl, stare into the water and look at my reflection...

...and that’s when it hits me.
