Given the reactions it received both in the thread and on IRC, if people remind me in postgame about this, I'll be glad to explain my thoughts process for that whole sequence.

For the record, it was not "GOTTA SHIP GOTTA SHIP GOTTA SHIP".

Going to bed early tonight. Few thoughts running through my head, for those that will play on for the next couple of hours.

- Try to check in on Utsuho. If she's awake, she'll likely appreciate an update on the situation, especially since Renko is in her house. It might also be nice for her to hear the jet thing straight from us, just in case she has any questions.
- Be SURE to check in on Satori before leaving, if only to think a very large Thank you! to her. That entire sequence would not have happened if not for her.
- Barring unforseen disaster situations, Marisa is likely our best choice for next stop, now that Alice's Wrath is our most pressing issue. However, it might be nice to Renko to offer her the option of seeing Ichirin first if she wants to.
- Do not just blab Renko's story to anyone. Let her tell people as much as she feels comfortable telling. This applies double to Marisa, given what we'll be asking of her.
- DO NOT GO TO THE SDM. We have no idea who is going to thoughtlessly blurt out "Oh hey, is that your friend that you warned us about?" and that could very well ruin everything. I trust Sakuya and Patchouli to have some semblance of tact but everyone else is fair game to be stupid and we'd have to wade through the unknowns to get to them. We have no idea who Sakuya has told at this point, but I'd be amazed if she kept it a secret from everyone.
- Respect Renko's mindset right now; she's still quite delicate. Remember, her perspective on Gensokyo currently consists of (a) vengeful fairy babble and (b) Alice's surely-calculated "wisdom". It's possible she still retains the SDM conquest idea as a possibility. Do not try to stamp it out of existence, merely continue to downplay it as the need arises. Once a suitable alternative has been found, THEN we can squish it once and for all.

>"Maybe, maybe. So, this is the infamous Yuka..."
>The Emerald Necklace would work with your current dress. If there were no sleeves, the Star Armlet would be perfect for it. The Emerald Necklace would be lost on Renko's psychedelic sundress. The Star Armlet would clash, but at least she could wear it well.
