//Note: Believe it or not, this quest is always open, so new players are welcome at any time, if they don't mind reading...>You are Maribel Hearn.
>You are a 19 years old university student majoring in psychology living in Kyoto, Japan. For a significant portion of your life you've caught glimpses of a land called Gensokyo in your dreams. Additionally, you were born with an ability to see boundaries, something that isn't normal for humans. You've kept these aspects about you secret for many years.
>And then you met Renko Usami.
>You and Renko share several common interests, including a love for the supernatural. She is currently your best and only friend, and you've been friends since high-school. Together, the two of you form the Secret Sealing Club, which investigates supernatural activities. Renko, like you, also has an unnatural ability. If she has a clear line of sight with the night sky, she can pinpoint her exact location, as well as the time. It's prevented both of you from getting lost during investigations on several occasions.
>In recent years, your powers seem to be intensifying. As they developed, you gained the ability to dream about Gensokyo while still awake, as well the ability to take Renko into your dreams with you. For a while this made it difficult to tell apart dream from reality. Fortunately, this feeling faded over time. These powers recently evolved again, and you now find yourself able to open and close tears in boundaries.
>Today, you and Renko finally entered Gensokyo, the land of your dreams, and met Reimu Hakurei, who soon became your escort.
>The three of you went to the human village, where you met Koishi Komeiji during a performance. The two of you became friends quickly.
>Later on, you met Kosuzu in the bookstore she works at. As well as a woman you would later learn was named Mamizou, who took Renko outside to discuss something. It was then that things began to go south, as several loud bangs soon came from outside. Rushing out, you discover that Mamizou had been injured by what was presumably a gun, prompting Reimu to leave the two of you and start investigating.
>With the help of a pair of rabbits named Reisen and Tewi, you managed to stabilize Mamizou long enough for them to rush her off for medical treatment. You, Renko, and Kosuzu then departed for Eientei, with a curious Koishi joining partway through, it was here you began to notice Renko acting strange, which she told you not to worry about every time you brought it up.
>At Eientei, you found that Mamizou was unconscious, but should make a full recovery. Here, Reimu met up with you and Renko again, and after a private conversation between Reimu and Eirin Yagokoro, who seemed to be suspicious of Renko at the time, the three of you went back to the Hakurei Shrine for lunch.
>At the Hakurei Shrine, Reimu was attacked by the same weapon that shot Mamizou, mortally wounding her. It was at that moment you discovered that Renko, of all people, was the assailant. She ran away as soon as you discovered her deed. Words could not describe your disbelief.
>Shortly after, Gensokyo's Barrier began to weaken, and you met Yukari Yakumo, a youkai with a strikingly similar ability to your own. She quickly transported you and Reimu to Eientei, where Reimu managed to get the urgent medical attention she needed. Yukari then took you to her home, where she helped you learn to shoot basic danmaku. You also met her shikigami, Ran, whom she assigned to cover the Hakurei Shrine until Reimu had recovered, and her shikigami's shikigami, Chen, whom she assigned to be your new escort. She then took the two of you back to Eientei.
>You and Chen then enlisted the help of Tewi to find a wolf youkai that might be able to track down Renko. You eventually found said Youkai, whose name was Kagerou Imaizumi. She agreed to help you, but you currently owe her repayment.
>You, Chen, and Kagerou went to the Hakurei Shrine to find something that might have Renko's scent on it, where you briefly met Marisa and Alice, two of Reimu's friends, as they were leaving. You quickly obtained Renko's lunch bag, which Kagerou used to track her. You also began learning to fly here.
>Partway into the hunt, you ran into Koishi once again, this time, you attempted to tear a hole into her subconscious barrier, accidentally unsealing her third eye in the process. This caused a complete personality change in her, as well as a brief episode, but you managed to talk some sense into her, and remained her friend. She then joined in on the hunt for Renko.
>You eventually found Renko, but after some unfortunate events she was knocked out cold. You brought her to Eientei, where Kagerou left your party. After a while, Renko came to, and you learned that she was attempting to save a relative who had disappeared years ago, and protect you from the same fate. You also learned what she calls an "angel" seems to also be partially behind Renko's actions. You then left the room.
>You are currently in Eientei, outside Renko's room, talking to Chen and Koishi.

>>A piece of trash with Renko's scent on it.
>"It's something between the two of us. I've gotta resolve it."
>"She told me the truth i needed to know, but there were some things she still couldn`t clear up, because she didn`t know that part."
>"Oh, okay then..." Chen replies.
>"Are you feeling alright?" asks Koishi.
>_
//Also, FINALLY, we've cleared one thread... It's still lagging way behind Daiyousei quest, which is kinda sad because this quest is older than that one....
