> The three of you continue to walk. You keep an eye out for the red aura, but it never reappears.
> The bamboo is getting really, really dense now, and the grass looks like it's getting taller. Mokou is at the front of the group and kicks it to the side so that passage is easier, but it grows back quickly.
> Mokou exhales, and a few small flames come out of her mouth. Strangely enough, they don't burn anything, but instead float up and brighten the area within a few feet.
> "It's going to get dark."

> "Yeah." You can't really tell what Mokou thinks.
> The light in the forest goes out like a candle. It doesn't make much of a difference to you, as someone from the Underground. You know you'd be able to see much furthur out if it wasn't for the all the bamboo getting in the way. It actually looks like it's getting closer...
> "Coool, you can see in the dark?" Cirno walks up beside you. "Your eyes are sort of glowing."

> Smirk with pride. "Yep, it's a special ability that I have."
> The bamboo stalks are closing in on us? A hatchet or something would be nice to have to chop them out of the way.
> "About how much further is it, Mokou?"

> "Aww, luckyyy."
> Yes. They're sort of caging in on all of you.
> "Not there yet." Mokou suddenly stops, kneels down, and ducks her head. "This is perfectly normal," she explains.

> You kneel down and motion Cirno to follow suit.
> The bamboo is pressing up against you, now; it feels tight, and it's difficult to breath. You shut your eyes, expect the worst, and...
> ...find yourself tumbling onto a patch of grass. The bamboo at a respectable distance again. You see Cirno sitting in the grass nearby, stretching her wings.
> Mokou is already standing, and her hands are still in her pockets. You feel sore all over.

> You stand up and try to make the pain stop.
> Although the bamboo is not so close like before, you note that it's very tall. Looking up reveals that the sky is about the size of a postage stamp. It's still kind of dark, too.
> You mutter a bit out of frustration as you turn your attention to a cute little rabbit eating grass nearby. It doesn't seem to notice you.
> Wait, what?!

> "Ahh, you'd've been wandering for weeks trying to get to the next layer of the forest unless you got lucky and found that shortcut." Mokou rolls her shoulders.
> Normal-looking forest, those shadow things are still there...
> The rabbit...In place of a rabbit, you can see a petite girl with bunny ears and a plain dress sitting with her back to you. She has a peach-colored aura.
> Cirno has also noticed the rabbit. She stares it down, barely moving.

> Cirno falls flat on her face as the rabbit disappears. "Aw man! It ran away!"
> Mokou looks in the direction that the rabbit fled. "There'll be more."

> "Some of the bamboo here can teleport you if you're careless, so don't touch any of it," Mokou explains. "It's far enough apart that it shouldn't be too much of a problem, though..."
> Her voice sounds really clear. A little too clear. Come to think of it, you can even hear Cirno's dress rustling as she stands up from the ground. Were you always able to hear this well?
> The three of you start to walk again. You feel like you have a lot of room compared to the last area you were in, but the danger of accidentally touching a stalk of bamboo makes everything feel too close at the same time.

> "What?" Mokou is speaking pretty loudly. "You're talking really quietly."
> You use the stone again. You only see one or two shadows. Once in a while you see auras, but they're too far away and disappear quickly. You assume they belong to more of those rabbits.
