>That may be plausible, at least for some of what you've seen recently. The fact that the food didn't seem to nourish you, and much of what and who you've tried to take from Gensokyo doesn't seem to have been able to persist beyond Gensokyo. However, your robe, and the pliers, have persisted, so perhaps they aren't simple manifestations? More information may be needed. Outside of that gap, you aren't so sure this reasoning would apply. If nothing else, the roots have hurt you, and the water slaked your thirst.
>You have one insight point left.
>The gap you found in the crystal palace would not benefit from the pliers, you would need your vice grips to use it safely. There is, however, a very disparate gap where the fold is particularly thick.
