>Head to the receptionist.

>You approach the receptionist.

>"Excuse me, but would Dr. Eirin be available now ? We need her help with this young lady injuries."

>"Dr. Yagokoro is out of the building at the moment. My apologies." the receptionist replies, "Reisen is filling in for her though, but depending on the seriousness of her condition she could at most stabilize her until Dr. Yagokoro returns."
>_

[Monarda]

>"Reisen could also help yes, it isn't urgent after all, when will the doctor come back however ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Reisen could also help yes, it isn't urgent after all, when will the doctor come back however ?"

>"I'm not sure. Give her a couple hours."
>_

[Monarda]

>"Okay... so where can we find Reisen ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Okay... so where can we find Reisen ?"

>"Right now she is in room 28. Down the hall, third door on the left."
>_

[Monarda]

>"Thank you."
>Nod and head with our group to said room.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Thank you."
>Nod and head with our group to said room.

>You take your group and follow the directions to the room.
>You see Reisen inside, she appears to be talking with a green-haired woman in a blue and white outfit. A young woman, around 17 years old, you think, is lying on a bed near them.
>You notice Reisen has a black eye.
>_

[Monarda]

>Enter and wave.
>"Hey Reisen ! Are you alright ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Enter and wave.
>"Hey Reisen ! Are you alright ?"

>"Oh, hello again." Reisen stops her conversation, "Yeah, your friend gave me a black eye yesterday... it should go away in a couple days. Anyway, what brings you here?"
>The green-haired woman is looking at your group curiously.
>_

[Monarda]

>Look back at the Green-haired woman curiously too.
>"Um.... oh ! We haven't met yet have we ? My name is Maribel Hearn, it is good to meet you Miss... ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Look back at the Green-haired woman curiously too.
>"Um.... oh ! We haven't met yet have we ? My name is Maribel Hearn, it is good to meet you Miss... ?"

>"Sanae Kochiya." she smiles, "It's nice to meet you."
>_

[the old guy]

>"What brings you here Ms. Kochiya?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"What brings you here Ms. Kochiya?"

>"I was bringing her in to get her checked out..." Sanae gestures to the girl on the bed, "Apparently she was one of the girls that was abducted last night, and she managed to escape whoever took her, though she was in too much shock when I found her for me to get any answers. Hopefully, I'll have more luck when she's awake and calm... And please, call me Sanae. Ms. Kochiya just sounds weird..."
>_

[Monarda]

>"Wait... you mean the one on the newspaper with the soothing music ?"
>Look worriedly at Rengeteki.
>"Didn't you say that you also heard a kind of soothing music when those people invaded your home Regenteki ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Wait... you mean the one on the newspaper with the soothing music ?"

>"Yeah."

>Look worriedly at Rengeteki.
>"Didn't you say that you also heard a kind of soothing music when those people invaded your home Regenteki ?"

>You look at Rengeteki, she seems to be sticking close to you, and keeping you between herself and Reisen and Sanae
>Rengeteki slowly nods.
>"Huh? So you're saying they tried to abduct her too?" Sanae asks.
>_

[Monarda]

>Nod.
>"When we arrived at her home, the door was forced open and the place ransacked, fortunately she was hiding in a secret crawlspace with the help of her powers, we also got some clues, according to her, it was the work of a former friend of her's called Layla, and i also found this."
>Show Sanae the amber block.
>"I found this just outside of her home, we have no idea what it does though, however there are these engraved letters on it..."
>Gently caress Rengeteki's head.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Show Sanae the amber block.
>"I found this just outside of her home, we have no idea what it does though, however there are these engraved letters on it..."

>Sanae takes the block and studies it.
>"Huh... I think I actually might know what this is..."

>Gently caress Rengeteki's head.

>You do so. Rengeteki doesn't seem to mind.
>_

[the old guy]

>"What do you think it is?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"What do you think it is?"

>"I think it's a thing musicians use on string instruments to make the bow grip the strings better. I think it's called 'Rosin' or something like that... I used to see the orchestra members use it when I was in high school... Oh, wait, this is Gensokyo, you probably don't know what high school is..." Sanae smiles, before tilting her head thoughtfully, "Well, actually... Now that I think about it, your clothes don't really look like something someone from Gensokyo would wear... Where are you from, anyway?"
>_

[Monarda]

>Smile.
>"Well, you got us, Renko here and i are from the outside world, more importantly, you came from there too ? Interesting !"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Smile.
>"Well, you got us, Renko here and i are from the outside world-"

>"WHOA! Really!?!" Sanae cuts you off, "I'm from there too! Hey, how different are things out there now? Do we have flying cars yet?"
>"Uh, no, not really..." Renko replies, "How long have you been in Gensokyo."
>"I'd say about 17 years."
>"Yeah, I don't think much has changed in our world since then... I mean, technology is definitely better than back then, but we're nowhere near flying cars..."
>"Aww... Really?"
>_

[Monarda]

>Shrug.
>"It's life, still, i am happy to find someone like us, so, you are that other shrine maiden besides Miss Reimu huh ? How is that kind of way of life like ?"
>Turn to Reisen.
>"Also Reisen, would you mind examining my friend here, she has some really concerning injuries from her past..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Shrug.
>"It's life, still, i am happy to find someone like us, so, you are that other shrine maiden besides Miss Reimu huh ? How is that kind of way of life like ?"

>"It's pretty nice." Sanae shrugs, "Just gathering faith and resolving incidents. Anyway, you said there was something engraved on the back of this, right?"
>Sanae turns the block over in her hands.
>"L. P.... Hmm... No... it can't be her..."

>Turn to Reisen.
>"Also Reisen, would you mind examining my friend here, she has some really concerning injuries from her past..."

>"Oh, sure." Reisen smiles, "Just lead her over to the vacant bed over there and I'll do the rest."
>_

[Monarda]

>"We suspect it to be from that Layla person that hates Rengeteki..."
>Gently lead Rengeteki to the vacant bed.
>"Okay Regenteki, now you gotta relax and let Reisen here examine your arm, and your wings also need to be examined too since you said that after they were hit you cannot fly anymore."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"We suspect it to be from that Layla person that hates Rengeteki..."

>"Well, it's better than who I was thinking of. Is this Layla person a musician, maybe?" Sanae asks.

>Gently lead Rengeteki to the vacant bed.
>"Okay Regenteki, now you gotta relax and let Reisen here examine your arm, and your wings also need to be examined too since you said that after they were hit you cannot fly anymore."

>You lead Rengeteki to the bed and she sits on it.
>"O-Okay..." Rengeteki looks at Reisen nervously, "Y-You said s-she wasn't going t-to hurt me, right?"
>"Yeah, I won't hurt you. I can promise you that." Reisen smiles.
>_

[Monarda]

>"From what Rengeteki said, she played a lot of instruments."
>Get a bit closer to Sanae and whisper:
>"Also about her... she had a very *very* rough and disturbed life, so much has happened to her, that she was left with nothing, no friends, no family, flightless and defenseless, it is just unfair.... so please be careful when you talk with her..."

>"Oh... Okay... I wasn't planning on talking to her though..." Sanae replies, "So... Do you happen to know this Layla's surname? Maybe that could narrow the search down if she is the one behind the kidnappings."
>"So. What seems to be the issue?" Reisen says softly.
>"I-I... _{^{I-I can't close my h-hand all the way...}}" Rengeteki mumbles.
>"May I see it? The hand?"
>Rengeteki doesn't move.
>_

[Monarda]

>"She said that it might have been related to Water or something."
>Go to where Rengeteki is lying at.
>"Relax, she is just trying to help, i am here for you if you need to remember ?"
>Give her a soothing smile.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"She said that it might have been related to Water or something."

>"Well, if these are her initials, then there is only one water-related surname beginning with P that comes to mind..." says Sanae, "But it can't be that."

>Go to where Rengeteki is lying at.
>"Relax, she is just trying to help, i am here for you if you need to remember ?"
>Give her a soothing smile.

>"O-Okay..." Rengeteki smiles slightly in return before extending her right hand to Reisen.
>"Alright. How much can you close it?" Reisen asks, before Rengeteki reluctantly closes her hand halfway, unable to move her fingers any further.
>"Okay... Let me know if you feel anything." Reisen gently takes Rengeteki's arm and begins applying light pressure at certain points, starting at the elbow and working her way down the arm.
>Suddenly Rengeteki cries out and jerks her arm away, before giving you a look of utter betrayal, "Y-YOU S-SAID T-THEY W-WOULDN'T H-HURT ME!"
>"I-I didn't mean to!"
