> "Hey now, don't get too plastered before Tenshi gets here."
> Sip tea contemplatively. "So... thoughts? About what's going on?"

> "It's fine, it's fine."  Suika takes another drink.
> You ask her how she feels about the situation.
> "It's a relief that the Underground isn't going to completely fill up, but the water's been coming down pretty hard," Suika says.  "Everyone down there is in the dark about why it's happening.  At first I thought I could tell them, but then I realize I have no idea either.  I don't know what to tell my friends, surface or underground."
> She rolls onto her back and stares up at the sky.  "You don't know, do you?  What will you do if Yukari doesn't have the answers?"

> "The same thing I do every time this happens: stop it, no matter how long it takes. I don't think there's been an incident I've intervened in that I haven't stopped, or help stop."
> Frown. That's not true, is it? That incident Yukari mentioned to Akyuu before, she said that we were unconscious for most of it, and the sun was blotted out for half of a year while someone else solved it. "What do you remember about the incident three years ago? Yukari didn't really tell us much, but you know what happened, right?"
> Aside from tonight, when was the last time Tenshi used that sword on us?

> "Good to hear.  It'd be bad if you relied completely on her."
> However, your words make you think of the incident Yukari mentioned, the one that you don't remember.  Half a year seems like an awfully long time for an incident to hang around, and if you were out for most of it, then you were out for a long time as well.
> "Me?  I have no idea.  Before I could figure out what was happening, Yukari gapped me to the Outside World.  It was inconsiderate and unexpected considering I had no warning, but she brought me back to help fight the perp," Suika says.  "She was on a power high, but it was different from Okuu's situation.  She knew exactly what she was doing.  Anyway, she was so dangerous that Yukari took away all her power, but knowing her she probably just squirreled it away somewhere for herself."
> Suika takes another drink.  "I don't remember the girl's name or what she wanted, but I knew she was under a powerful seal.  After it broke, it showered over Gensokyo.  I'm surprised no one was hurt.  That was one powerful seal, though.  Intact, I bet it could hold in anything."

So what's the plan, Sectimus?
Asking Suika was
Spoiler:
kind of a fishing expedition for me, since I'm almost positive I know what's causing Reimu's problems, but there wasn't anything I could really use in character and with in character knowledge to pursue it until I looked back at when Yukari and Akyuu were discussing that specific incident, and Suika was almost evasive regarding what Yukari was telling Akyuu. Thankfully my hunch about Suika knowing more than what Yukari told Akyuu was right (Reimu having amnesia regarding certain facts of the matter made things iffy), though I had forgotten that Suika was tossed into the Outside World during that time.

> "You solved that incident, then?"
