> For all that Gensokyo is the place where outside-world things go when they are forgotten, perhaps there are questions to be asked about where Gensokyo things go when they are forgotten.
> "I did, because it did. I am not sure how it reappeared. But it is true that not everyone in the room was present when this first happened. Would you like to tell the story, or shall I?"
> What do we know of any deity-related details to how Nue resolved Rinnosuke's incident?
>For forgotten deities, weak ones vanish utterly, stronger ones generally face some sort of judgement in Higan. The latter is a rather uncommon event.
>"I'll tell it," says Reimu. "So, there was this huge tree a little ways away that got struck by lightning, and split right in half. We didn't know this at the time, but it sits right on the border, so that put a hole in it. Now, when I found it, a new tree was starting to sprout from it. I figured that must be a divine act, so I declared the tree a deity and set up a little shrine. I thought it would bring more people. Then...things happened and I kinda forgot about it for awhile."
>"That's terrible!" Maribel says.
>"Quiet, you," says Reimu. "Anyways, we come back later and find that the whole thing had healed up. I'm sure Yukari knows how, but she won't tell me."
>It would be due to those faeries moving into it; faeries are good for trees. Not that Reimu needs to know where her more entertaining neighbors live.
>"Anyways, turns out there briefly was a god there, and it died of neglect because I forgot it, and Yukari scolded me over it."
