> You prompt her to talk, and she looks just as nervous as she did before you left for the Boundary.
> "...When we first fought, you didn't even know who I was, but to me, it had only been a few weeks since I last saw you," she says. Her voice shakes with each word.

> "H-how am I supposed to tell you?!" Konngara explodes. "It's been so many years, and I..."
> She stops abruptly, as if she has choked on her words. All of a sudden, she turns on her heels and darts away, disappearing into the trees within seconds.

> You've just about lost your patience with her.
> Not bothering to go after her, you leave the trees and go back to the backyard. The gap is there, waiting for you. Ran is curled up nearby in fox form, and Suika sits on her back while hugging her gourd. When you approach, she smiles at you.

> "Oh, you want us to go with you?" Suika asks. Ran lifts her head off the ground.
> "Only two people may go in at a time," she says. "The gap may fall apart if too many try to go in at once."

>"Yeah. It'll just be me and probably Ran right now, looks like. But if you want to do something, go dust off your Pandemonium card and knock Konngara around with it for awhile. She took off that way."
>Jerk thumb in proper direction and head for the gap.
>"So, do I need to do anything special to use this?"

>Nod to Ran and step into the gap.

> She probably would, to be honest.
> You and Ran enter the gap. Your world is swallowed in darkness, and your surroundings become a purple-black void. Eyes watch you from all directions.
> Behind you, the scenery seems to waver. The colors of the trees, grass, and water waver in the light. A cool breeze pushes against your back, as if urging you forward.
> Ran switches back to her human form, and reaches out to her left. You become aware that there are walls and a ceiling; the floor was obvious. It seems you're in a tunnel, albeit a somewhat narrow one. You're squished between a wall full of eyes and Ran's tails.

> "The Gap Space," Ran explains as you struggling ahead of her. It's the only way she won't be able to smother you. "It serves as both a hammerspace and a pocket dimension."

> "Whatever you say, Reimu," Ran says with a hum in her voice. The two of you proceed into the darkness, and the familiar scenery of the shrine grows farther and farther away.
> For a long time, you just walk forward, around twists and turns, down slopes. As the hallway widens, you start to see patterns of light on the walls. Abstract shapes and lines, things you think could pass as wings or water, but then there are shapes you don't recognize. You pass through a hallway that makes you feel like you've stepped into the night sky, with starlight illuminating Ran's features as she walks ahead of you. Even with all this light, it's still dark, and even when you have your feet on the ground, you feel like you're suspended in nothingness. You'd say this entire place is one of interest.
> The eyes return, but there are lines connecting them this time. Sparks of electricity run through them at uneven intervals, and Ran slows down.
> "Hold on. I sense something ahead," she says to you in a low voice.
