> "We might need to raid the Moriya's kitchen, though: we don't have enough, and the only places that aren't flooded that would likely have tofu are on the mountain. I don't think Sakuya usually keeps tofu in stock."

> "Yeah, tofu uses soybeans so I wouldn't expect her to," Suika says.
> "So we're gonna head over now, ze?"
> "Not at this time of night."

> You stretch, realizing only now how stiff you've been feeling.
> Marisa stands up and grabs her hat. "Well, I still have some steam so I'm gonna go back out, ze. I'm on night duty tonight."
> "Could you take me with you? I want to see Keine," Akyuu says.
> "Sure thing, kiddo."

>How well stocked with Tofu would we expect Chireiden to be?

> The possibility of the palace having tofu isn't zero, because there are no oni living there. However, they do all of their shopping in the Ancient City, which doesn't have soybeans or things with soybeans in them. Satori would have to send Orin to the surface or just have a very small amount of tofu, if she were to have it at all.

> Marisa gestures to Akyuu, who follows her out of the kitchen. Their chattering lingers in your ears until you hear the front door close.

> Suika doesn't put up a fight and just lets you drag her out from under the table. She giggles at you. She has probably been drinking.
> You leave the kitchen, go back to your room, and drag out the futon. It feels weird to be setting it up, fluffing out the pillows, and getting ready for a nap when you still haven't solved the incident, but it can't be helped. As long as you're alive, you're going to need sleep.
> You turn off the lights, crawl under the covers of the futon, and try to relax. Sleep takes a little while to come to you, and it's only after you lie still that you start to feel drowsy.
> ...
> The only visible light is a thin rectangle on the floor far away from you. You don't remember going into the hallway. Were you sleepwalking? Your feet and ankles feel wet.

> You check one of your feet. You can't tell what it is in the gloom, so you swipe some of it off and bring it to your nose. It feels warm and has a strong, metallic scent.

> Like... copper?
> Carefully walk to the light. We have a bad feeling about this...

> Yes. A coppery scent.
> Your heart starts to sink as you walk. Approaching the light, you start to see your feet--and the ground--better. As your eyes adjust, you see a red liquid on the floor. It coats your ankles and feet, and you leave it behind in bright red footprints. More bare footprints, just your size, lead away from the light. They get messier the closer you get to the light, until it's just one big red smear coming from underneath what you realize is a door. The rectangle of light is really just light coming from the space underneath the door you're now standing in front of.

> The space between the door and the floor is too small for even your arm to get through!
> You get on your hands and knees and look under the door. You're aware that you're getting more blood on you, but you have to see what's going on.
> You see what looks like a normal floor, but there's a lot more blood. You might see some table legs, but they could also be chair legs. You're not sure.
> As you're looking, you hear a muffled...crying sound...?
