> Details on history with Meiling. (Don't feel obligated to write an essay, of course!)
> Whatever became of the alternate title Remilia gave our home during the Bhavagra Incident?
> Opinion of Reimu's Hakurei.

> Opinion of Youmu Konpaku.
> Opinion of Reisen Udongein Inaba.
> Opinion of Sanae Kochiya.
>Meiling is...complicated. You're supposed to be seeing each other (in secret, of course. Remilia would never tolerate her staff fraternizing), but you aren't so sure anymore. It's been months since the two of you have had any real time together, and you aren't certain that bothers her. You aren't certain if it bothers you; though you're reasonably sure it does. Have you drifted apart? Did you ever really drift together?
>The imperial name, as you think of it, is still used in ceremonial occasions, particularly on the anniversary of that incident, but you suspect it has been completely forgotten by anyone outside the mansion. And technically by a majority inside the mansion, if you count the faeries.
>Reimu is Reimu. Hardnosed and uncompromising in the defense of Gensokyo, generally can't be bothered otherwise. She's seen a lot, and it's definitely hardened her. But for someone who complains about youkai, she sure seems to have a lot of them as friends. Then again, you can hardly judge, given your own situation.
>Marisa is a pain in the butt, but it's a good kind of pain. She causes trouble here often enough, and her thieving habit can be a pain. But she's toned that down, and she's quite pleasant when she isn't in a rambunctious mood. Still, it's generally a good idea to stay out of her way when she's fired up. Also you cannot deny she has lovely abs.
>Youmu had better stay far away from you or yours if she knows what's good for her. You do not forget, and you are not inclined to forgive.
>Reisen is a pleasant enough person, you think. Perhaps she is a bit spacey sometimes, but that's fine too. You don't see her very often, as she tends to stay around Eientei, save for when she goes to deliver medicine to the village. Sometimes you have pleasant chats with her. You wish her well.
>Sanae amuses you more than anything. You've not had many opportunities to meet her, having little business around the upper reaches of Youkai Mountain, but she seems to be a good kid. She definitely gets carried away sometimes, and it tends to be hilarious when she and Reimu get into spats. It's a shame she doesn't drink, you imagine she'd be a hilarious drunk.
>How do our time powers work?
>Essentially, you focus, and they happen. In the old days, you needed your pocketwatch to help you with it, but you've learned to do so on your own these days. Essentially, time listens to you, for lack of a better term. You can step outside of it for a duration, or you can let it pass you by in an eyeblink. You can focus it on objects and cause them to age more quickly; which you tend to do for wines reasonably often. You only have so much capacity for it before you need to rest. There are other things you can do, but you've been hesitant to explore the limits of your abilities, lest you do something you can't take back. You have, on one occasion, managed to speed up the passage of time for everyone to help save Remilia by bringing sunset more quickly. That particular trick knocked you out for awhile, and you awoke several years younger than when you started, which was very disturbing, to say the least.
