>Once we arrive: "You are Nyx, I assume. Don't worry; Reisen here and I mean you no harm."
>Pulling the door open, you look into the room beyond.
>This appears to be another part of the library, but it's roomier than the part you were just in. This would seem to be more of a communal area, with several tables of varying lengths in evidence, and the scent of dust isn't quite as strong on this side. There are also large windows on the wall to your right, four, to be precise, with long black curtains still intact, if a bit tattered at the hem. The closest bookcases are a relatively safe distance from the windows, and the potential degradation that comes from exposure to sunlight.
>The sources of flashing light are coming from outside those windows, and now that you have a better look, the color patterns would seem to indicate the use of danmaku.
>Reisen is standing 12 feet to your northwest, facing the door, and the woman standing in front of her. She wears a pure white nurse's uniform, very form fitting, with matching thigh-high boots, accented by a lacy black garterbelt. She sports a black tail from just above her shapely derriere, ending in a spade-like growth, and has bat-like wings sprouting from her shoulder blades. Her short blue hair is topped by a nurses cap. Most notably, though, is the enormous syringe she carries in her hands, currently pointed at Reisen and filled with a pale purple fluid. It looks for all the world like the kind of thing you'd see in an old cartoon, the bloody thing is nearly as tall as its wielder.
>She has the scent of a demon, which you easily recognize at this range. And she spares a glance behind her as you address her, then looks back at the lunar rabbit. And then you hear her swallow, and her body stiffen. Distinct signs of fear.
>Behind you, Hoshi stops short in her tracks. "Reisen?" she asks, her voice notable darker than it was before.
