>"Yeah. Hey, what'd she say about dealing with the salt?"
>Tuck the feather away.

> "She said she's 'working on it,' ze," Marisa says.  "And that she wants more magicians around."
> Obtained: White Feather
     > A strange but beautiful feather obtained from the abyss.  Nothing about it is known.

> How do these feathers compare design-wise to the feathers we coughed up earlier?

> This feather is bigger and sturdier, whereas the feathers you coughed up were sort of limp and scraggly even after they dried.  The color is also different; there's a tint of blue in this one, and the other ones were pure white with red at the tips.

>"I'll probably follow, but get Sanae started on sewing up that barrier, first. And maybe Youmu."

> "Alright."  Ran reaches into the sewing box for a pair of scissors, and snips off the thread connecting the spool to the doll.  Taking the spool from Marisa, she floats down to where Sanae and Youmu are.
> Marisa pulls at the thread ensnaring the doll.  She mutters to herself, "Heh, if this thread is really used to sew up the Boundary, then I wonder what else it could do."

> "Leave it to me, ze!"  Marisa gives you a thumbs up and sails off.  She speeds along towards the horizon, going west, where civilization is.
> Down below, Ran is giving a brief tutorial to Sanae and Youmu on how to use the sewing kit.  Judging by their bored expressions, they already know how to do this.  However, Ran seems earnest in her explanation: this is, after all, much different from sewing clothes.

> It sounds like something you could understand.  You linger a bit longer to listen.
> "...and when you're sewing, make the stitches as close together as possible.  There should be a magnifying glass and measuring tape you can use if you want to measure the distance between stitches.  Draw the thread tightly, and tie the knot close to the Boundary.  When you snip off the ends with the scissors, the thread should melt into the Boundary on its own.  Now, the cracks should be easy enough to find, but you might find some tears.  Those look a bit like shapes you'd see in a soap bubble.  If it's a big one, you might need to go over it a few times.  For now, though, I'd like you to focus on the cracks first and foremost."
> "What if we run out of thread?" Sanae asks.
> "You shouldn't," says Ran.  "There's a lot more thread than it looks."
> "Could I use my swords instead of scissors?" Youmu asks.
> "You mean if you want to cut the thread's want to come apart?  That sounds like a good idea, but you'd be running the risk of causing more damage by nicking the Boundary.  If I were you, I'd only do that if you're having difficulty."

> She then hands the sewing box to Sanae.

>Once Ran is ready, depart back to the shrine.

> Ran flies up to join you.  Leaving Sanae and Youmu to patch up the Boundary, you and Ran start the long flight back towards the shrine.
> Your shadows grow as you skim along the top of the water.  The clouds seem to fly with you, propelled by gusts of wind as you make a long journey home.  By the time the shrine gate is in sight, the sun has dipped in the tattered sky.  Of course, it takes a long time to fly from one end of Gensokyo to another.  It's light out, but probably late enough for the gap to be just about ready by now.  Ran lands on the pathway and makes a beeline for the back of the shrine.

> You follow Ran to the back.  There, near the lake, is a perfectly formed gap.  If you didn't know any better, you'd think Yukari had made it herself.  It even has ribbons attached to it.  On the back porch, Suika sleeps on her back, with Chen in cat form making biscuits on her stomach.  When you and Ran appear, she leaps into the grass and changes to human form.
> "Lady Ran!  The gap's ready!" she cries, as if you haven't seen it yet.
> "I see that.  Thank you for guarding it, Chen," Ran says, patting Chen on the head.
> As this exchange is happening, you look around for Konngara.  You don't see her.

> "We'll wait," says Ran.
> You cross the yard and go over to the orchards.  The leaves are a vibrant green, with the sunlight filtering through the leaves.  The only sound is their rustling on the branches as you walk along.  The trees and grass are even more stunning in the spring, when it's cherry blossom season, but you guess this has its own charm.  It's connected to the forest, too.
