> It's an eventful trip, at least.
> You look over at the sleeping woman. She hasn't budged an inch.
> Mokou follows your gaze.
> "That's her. The youkai who owns this field, that is."

> You're still feeling drowsy.
> "Youkai tend to sleep during the day," Mokou says. "I don't know what'll happen if we wake her up, I'll be honest."

> "Yeah. Later."
> You give one last look to the sleeping youkai. She looks so peaceful and harmless sleeping there. Could she really be dangerous?
> You and Mokou head out of the sunflower field, and after some walking you start to feel the effects of the spores less and less. When you've reached the edge of the field, Mokou puts her hands in her pockets again.
> "Okay, our next destinations are gonna be way more fun than that."

"Okay." Mokou seems okay with it so must be okay. Right?
"So lets go!"

> "We aren't going to die, though, right?"

> "Okay, then." Mokou turns and starts walking off, around the edge of the flower field. "And you'll only go across the river if you're already dead, so don't worry."

> You follow Mokou around the edge of the flower field, and eventually you reach the forest again. Walking through you see more kedamas, floating lazily in the breeze. The air in here is cooler and more shaded from the hot summer sun, and you even hear the babbling of a creek somewhere. A faerie or two flit by ever once in a while, strangely disappearing into the foliage.
> It's not long before you and Mokou break through the trees again, and find yourselves in an open plain. You see some water off in the distance. By some miracle, the air smells even fresher than it did back in the trees. The grass is short and soft under your feet, with no weeds or flowers or anything around.
> Mokou keeps walking in the direction of the water.

> Catch up! "Woah, this place is weird!"

> You follow Mokou as she strolls along the grass. The water is closer in sight, now, but you can't seem to see the other side.
> "It is." Mokou stretches her arms.
> You're nearing the riverbank now. The water's surface is glassy, with gentle waves lapping up against the grainy shore. You can see the bottom of a river to a certain extent; as it gets farther out into the water, the view gets murkier until it's just a black haze. There doesn't seem to be much here, anyway.
> Dotted along the riverbank are small docks, although only a few have small, wooden boats teethered to them.
> You can't see the other side of the river, either. Not even any mountains like you'd normally see from any point in Gensokyo. It just spans on forever. There also seems to be a draft. It's strangely chilly.

> Wrap our arms around us to protect us from the chill, and run to one of the docks to peer in the water!

> "Woah, is there fish in here?!"

> It's unusually cold.
> You head over to one of the docks. You can see into the water, foamy-looking sand sloshing around at the bottom. There's some equally fuzzy-looking algae here, but nothing else.
> "I heard they were only in the deeper parts," Mokou says. "Although the shinigami I met told me that there were a lot of abominations down there, whatever that means."

> It looks so disarming...could it really be...?
> "Yeah. Dirty with evil."
> You move away from the water. Quickly.
> Mokou hops up onto the dock and squints out into the horizon, as if looking for something.

> "Worse than that. Kitsune's boss-level evil," Mokou insists.
> ~~"Who the hell is Godot?"~~
> "Usually there's a shinigami who makes rounds here frequently. There shouldn't be any reason she's wouldn't come here in this fine weather."
