>"Sanae, you have about five seconds to calm yourself before I have Suika dunk you in the pond."

> Suika grins. "Thanks."
> You tell Sanae to calm down, but she just won't. She keeps kicking her legs and reaches up to claw at Suika's fingers.
> "Sanae, stop that," Suwako says, but Sanae doesn't stop.

>Nod to Suika. "Just a wake-up splash."

> "Okay!" Suika flings Sanae into the pond. She skips across the surface like a stone before going under.
> Suwako looks on as Sanae resurfaces, sputtering and flailing her way towards the pond's edge. With a small sigh, she floats off Suika's arm and floats down to the pond to catch up with Sanae.

~~I kind of wish she was Marisa, I really want to use the line "Is Hakurei Reimu gonna hafta soak a witch?"~~

> You follow Suwako down to the pond's edge, where she is currently helping Sanae out of the pond.
> Sanae is too busy gasping for breath to answer you. She takes Suwako's hands and staggers out of the pond before collapsing to her knees.
> Suwako tips the brim of her hat back. "Hey, Reimu?"

> "That's a worrying accusation, though," Suwako says.
> You get closer to Sanae. She's not screaming and crying anymore. It looks like she's exhausted herself trying to get away from Suika. Now that she's finally away from her, she isn't even making an effort to stand up.

I feel we should go negative, if only to get a rise out of her.

No, we have done enough. There are other people to beat up.

> You give some final words to Sanae and then hand her over to Suwako.
> Suwako hooks her arms under Sanae's armpits and tries to lift her off the ground.
> "Hmph! I'm too small. Hold on." Suwako stands back and claps her hands. When the smoke clears, she has become taller than you. Her robes, too, are longer, and her face is more mature-looking. She effortlessly scoops Sanae into her arms and hovers into the air.
> "We're going home," Suwako says, and promptly takes to the skies. Within minutes she is already out of the skies, with Sanae in tow. You hear Suika inelegantly tromping through the grass to meet up with you.

>"It's a long story. She's been asleep the last couple months or whatever, and Kanako ended up vanishing. Apparently she's been taking the faith or something? Hard to tell. But yeah, we've been trying to get her through it, and she just ran off. Always saying we didn't understand and never actually trying to make anyone understand. It's been a hell of a morning. What's happened here?"
