>"The magic, you have to punch me?"
>"No, but I forgot the proper way to do it. Besides, my way is quicker, and more fun."
>"I might take you up on that offer, had a long day already. I had to help a karakasa out of a vase, and I don't even like her."
>"A karakasa in a vase... Sounds hilarious... It's like a giant umbrella-holder."
>Well, I didn't know hanging a shrine maiden was traditional tea party standard.
>You find the obvious caricature of Reimu quite odd as a tea party standard, but then your remember that the woman next to you not only hates Reimu, but she's obviously gone insane at least once...
>"Then again, it's probably no good anymore if it's been saved for years." (The alcohol)
>"Nonsense! Alcohol improves with age! It's going to be awesome!"
>Check the picture. "What's this of?"
>The two of you reach the fireplace.
>You pick up the picture on the fireplace. The picture frame is cracked. But you can still see the picture inside.
>It's a picture of Mima. Next to her is a girl in a purple witch outfit, she looks around 11 to 12 years old. She also bears a striking resemblance to Marisa Kirisame. The two of them are smiling. They look quite happy together.
>"Oh, that old thing?" Mima replies, "That's a picture of me and Marisa, back in the good old days... It was taken about a year before she betrayed me..."
>Mima removes one of the bricks in the fireplace, and pulls out a bottle of sake from the hole left behind. She sets the bottle down on the mantle before grabbing the half-crescent.
>Mima brings the half-crescent to the broken end of her staff, and almost immediately the pieces seem to magnetize together. Mima waves her hand over the staff, and the crack separating the two pieces disappears.
