>"Mmm, that is a problem for a being, isn't it?" says Yukari. "If one doesn't have a shadow, then one is quite close to not existing at all. I've heard tales of false shadows being made, but...I suspect our friend is too much a connoisseur to be happy with that; I'm told they are terribly flawed"

If possible, though, please do try to act like you were not particular expecting our line of questioning should she come here. I feel bad enough already talking about this behind her back while she values her personal privacy so much."

>The door opens behind, and Tenshi comes in, panting for breath. "There..." she says, "Told her!"
>"Oh, nicely done," says Yukari, as she creates a hand-sized gap by her side, and withdraws a coin purse. She withdraws a few coins from it, and offers them to Tenshi. "I am quite certain you've salvaged supper, and we both can agree how important that is."
>"Yeah," she says, as she pockets the money.

>Tenshi gives a dubious look toward the gap, then shrugs. "Let's go."
>"Of course," says Yukari as you thank her.
>You step through the gap, reflexively closing your eyes. You feel a sort of weightlessness around yourself for a moment. When it passes, you open your eyes and see yourself surrounded by towering stalks of bamboo. Ahead, you can see wooden walls and low sloping roofs of what you presume to be Eientei. Two wooden doors stand a bit to the right of you, where two rabbits, neither of them even chest high to you, seem to be looking over them.
>"Ugh," says Tenshi behind you. "Remind me to never do that again..."
