>"It's worth a try, at least."
> "One way to find out, and that's to try."
>"I suppose there's nothing to be lost by the attempt," Ran says.
> Give Mugetsu another little hug. "Every thing is going to be fine. We're going to find a way to get your Sister back."
>You give Mugetsu a hug. She seems a little startled by it, and doesn't really return it, but doesn't try to break away, either. "...I hope so," she says. "And thank you. I... didn't really expect this from others."
>What was it about Ran that had to be done to get her out, again?
>Something about your nature, or how history has changed around you allowed you to walk between the two histories that were spliced at the barrier around Yukari's home. Ran, however, was firmly anchored to the one inside. You used her bond with Chen, anchored to the outside history, to weave their histories together again. Ran is now firmly anchored outside, and cannot return until whatever effect that created the barrier in the first place is removed. Without being in hakutaku form, and having something to anchor Mugetsu to the inside reality, it is unlikely she could pass through.
