> "Hmm. I must admit, while it is certainly no fault of your own, this is immensely frustrating. I need to find out why she acted the way she did with you. There are just too many inconsistencies with everything else she's demonstrated. I've never even seen her make any attempts to fly, and yet she got up here somehow. And what was she doing away from her forest, when she was so dead-set on getting back there when she was removed from it?"
> "Honestly? Ultimately, I'd like her to be the person you had a few with. From what I understand of her backstory, her raging paranoia isn't even her fault. For whatever reason she wants to hide away from everyone, that reason needs to be resolved, to give her a chance at a normal existence here rather than the dangerous one she presents now. I don't know what you managed to unlock in her, but...I wish we could do the same thing. I wonder if it's too late for me now, though."

>She takes the gourd from her side and has a drink. "Yeah, she said something about how she had to fake it, since she doesn't know how to fly proper. Not in those kinda words, but it's pretty much what it was. Made herself some wings usin'...something."
>She shrugs.

There's always the chance that Tenshi actually went back to Bhava-Agra. Remember, Reimu said she left to get more people to help, and where else would you find as many people willing to leap into action on Iku's behalf?

That being said, it also would not surprise me if Tenshi has a hard time getting people there to believe her about what happened to us, either.
Still, unless something else comes up, the Dragon Palace is probably our best next stop. Change of clothes and such, and we can check if anyone has seen her.

Yeah, that was my thinking as well. Given the day's events, Bhava-Agra and the Moriya Shrine are the only two places I can think of that she would even consider visiting for help. But I figure it's worth asking for the extra info, all the same.
