>So, we could make gap tools?

>Technically, yes. If you really had to replace one of your tools, you could do it. It would take a long time and quite a bit of work to do, which would be slowed by your need to keep the work secret and by your duties toward keeping Gensokyo running. This would take months, if you're lucky and years if you are less so.

>Stare at the whitish light.
>I assume it's not in the direction that the fold continues?

>You stare at the the light. It just barely stands out over the sea of swaying fronds; slightly silver against their pearly white.
>It is some distance from the fold, you think. The fold continues onward roughly diagonally from, going mostly eastward.

>Walk toward the light in a straight line, making extra sure not to waver. Don't want to lose that fold.

>You proceed toward the light, doing your best not to let yourself waver. You aren't too worried, really. As long as you proceed in the same general direction when returning, you'll find it.
>As the minutes pass and you come closer and closer to the light, you can see that it is not very large, probably no larger than you are. You can't make out anything like a discernible source, it just seems to come from the air itself. You soon ascertain that it is roughly rectangular in shape. It is not until you come within a dozen or so yards of it that you find it contained with a slight silvery frame, shaped like a square doorframe. It stands in the middle of the plants, shedding its silvery light softly.

>It doesn't seem to be. Rather, it feels like something through the threshold is glowing, or perhaps there is a door that's glowing, you can't quite tell without getting close to it.

>Examine it.

>Presumably this means you intend to get closer, so you do so.
>Up close, you are certain there's a gap within the light. You should be able to open it easily enough with your screwdriver. The light itself seems to be just that, light, with nothing solid. This makes it all the more unusual when you examine the other side of the frame and find a wooden door with paper panels, all in silver, resting in the frame.

>Some of your lost clothing.
>Rock
>A rock your picked up from the cavern floor, good for throwing or bashing. It bears some scuff marks where you tried to use it as an engraving tool
>Wide-Brimmed Reed Hat (worn)
>A hat you wove from feathery reeds. It is not very strong, but should keep your head dry and the light from your eyes.
>Yukari's Screwdriver.
>Seemingly a basic screwdriver. With this, you may prise open gaps with much more precision and delicately than you can alone.

>Poke our face through.

>You peer through the door and around to see darkness everywhere. The door frame appears to be freestanding here too, floating in the darkness with nothing below to support it. In the distance, here and there, you can see a twinkle of light in the darkness, no more than a dozen or so within your field of view. The air is cool and clean, and silent. You can feel the sandstorm feeling within the borders in this place, too. You are aware there is something behind the doorframe, but you cannot see what at this angle.
