> Youmu: Look to Kotohime. "I regret interrupting this tour, but it has been some time. Perhaps we should return to check on the others."
> Miko: Carefully gather our materials and return the brush and unused ink to the other room. stow our new talismans away if it will help not drip or spill ink everywhere.

>Miko: You look around, as Reimu walks back out into the hall, and only see some ghostly wisps hovering past.
>Youmu: You and Kotohime quickly backtrack to the sitting room, and find the others are leaving it.

>MIko: It's easy to see Youmu approach, with Kotohime following close behind.

> Youmu: Lead our guests to the Saigyou Ayakashi.
> Miko: Follow! (We've been doing a suspicious amount of following today...)

>Youmu: You lead the group onward toward the garden were the Saigyou Ayakashi lies. The progress is much like before, you have to keep half an eye on Kotohime as some small thing or other catches her attention. You don't think she's helped herself to any stray objects, but you can't discount that she's nabbed something when you're looking away.
>Soon, you reach the garden. You make your way through the rows of cherry trees, the garden now utterly without any ghosts lingering around. Soon, the immense leafless tree looms before you. "Still don't like that thing," Reimu mumbles. It seems you are alone here.
>"Help! I'm stuuuuuck!" Yoshika calls from her spot in the ground, still buried up to her neck.

>Youmu: You don't think she knows much about the former, at least. But the latter is...certainly plausible.
>Miko: It seems to command her to simply live. You think it's a reasonably standard charm for this kind of thing, as much as they can be standardized. You think it's pretty similar to the one she had, if not identical.

> Miko: Look to Yoshika. "Sorry, dear, but we have something very important to do right now. We will not be going far, though."
