>"Yeah, let's go," says Nitori.

>You find it's better just to walk back; it's not really that far away.
>Approaching the house, you see that Tenshi has situated herself on the porch again.
>"So," says Nitori as you get close, "There's a bunch of floating islands in the sky..."
>"Yeah, the sky fell," says Kogasa.

>You knock on the door. It opens to reveal Parsee again. "You know," she says, "You could just come in. We're kinda expecting you after the first visit this morning. Oh, hey Nitori, feeling okay?"
>"Eh, okay," says Nitori.
>"You got anything to eat?" Kogasa asks.

>Tenshi shrugs. "I dunno if that'll ever happen. You're pretty much one of the top celestials, and you're kinda obligated to do the celestial thing, and I'm pretty much a rogue. I'm always gonna have to watch my step around you, because you're supposed to be the one that gets in my way."
>She frowns. "But, well, I guess I never thought you'd be okay for any length of time before what happened, so who knows?"

>Assuming we can be discrete enough that we're not likely to draw attention to our comments: "Well, then I think it may be time to return to Momiji and settle that affair. After that, well... it mightn't hurt to give the poltergeist some time to think on her situation, and Bhava-Agra. I'm not sure that she'll decide to let it go, but I would not be surprised if some time to reflect could help clarify her thoughts on the matter. At the very least, there's good reason to believe time's passing may affect her opinion."

But, that hope aside, it also means that if force is used to liberate the celestials, they will be able to return to a place that Remilia cannot follow them, rather than the exposed position their homes currently occupy."
