Okay then guys, here we go...

>20 metres to go... We must get closer!

>Get to moving; try and stay out of range of the larger branches!
>Don't get caught by the vines; fly forward, and be prepared to graze if we can't full out dodge them.
>Swipe what we can if we really can't avoid it without minor grazing; just keep aware of everything that moves.

>Above all else, we MUST get into striking distance; we MUST solve this...
>WE MUST FIX THIS!
>Don't let go off that knife!

If we get there... if we get close enough... We must take that chance!

>Your leg feels as though it's burning.
>But you don't care. You press on. You're so close. You will get to the root of this.
>You are right next to the hole in the tree.
>You can see the strange core beating. The vines seem to be growing from it.

>What are you waiting for?
>You thrust your knife forward into the core of the Saigyou Ayakashi, ignoring the vines all around you.
>As you do this, the vines wrap themselves all around you, trying to hinder your movements and causing you a lot of pain, but it's far too late for the tree.
>The knife enters the core with a satisfying feeling.
>The core and knife emits a wave of the aura, much larger than any previous one.
>The vines all begin to rot and you can feel them loosening their grip on you.
>You can see the tree's branches flailing wildly as the aura travels back into the tree.
>As well as the aura rushing back into the tree, you can see the sky warping.
>The sky itself seems to be being drawn into the hole in the tree, the red being replaced by a dark blue.
>The vines are retracted by the tree, and once it has consumed all the vines and the sky, the hole closes up and the branches stop moving.

Let's try not to abuse our abilities too much; whilst it would be normal for Yukari to do that, in this situation, we can't just randomly gap stuff because we can. We don't know for sure if this, like the main gaps, will drain us each time we use one.

Also, whilst the situation with Alice & Rinnosuke needs checking, I'd advise checking up on Ran too. After that, I highly recommend Youkai Mountain as the next stop; for certain reasons that may or may not include the main group of the past two Quests.
