>You try to gather it up. It feels...odd, sort of like cotton, but it dissolves in your hands after a moment.

>You whirl around, faster and more violently than you'd like, trying to stifle a yelp of surprise. This is the first thing you've even heard in all this!
>Standing a few feet from you is a girl in an red dress and a pink mop hat, with curious wings of iron and crystal extending from her back. Her hair is blonde, and tied off into a ponytail on her side. Is this the little girl you saw before at Scarlet Devil Mansion? She seems older than you expected, perhaps fifteen or so? Her face is impassive.
