>Gap charge. Might as well head there early and give Satori a couple hours to blow off steam on us. Then we prepare for Byakuren. Then we deal with the Yama
>Why does this seem like the makings of a very unpleasant day?
>You still feel that you should wait for twenty or so minutes before attempting to manipulate borders. Perhaps you should do something in the meantime?
>You would rather face the consequences sooner rather than later, where the timing might be a bit inconvenient.
>Shou does say that Byakuren is doing her best to conceal her foul mood, but that doesn't stop you from wondering what an agitated Byakuren would act like.
>You do still have to fix whatever happened to Higan.
>You aren't looking forward to today at all.

>"While on the subject of changed people, if you see Rinnosuke, don't trust him. He's managed to enslave Alice with an odd doll and kept Rumia chained up for who knows how long."
>"Right now he's hiding in Reimu's mansion to avoid me, but he might leave at some point."
>We might get lucky and one of the Palanquin crew manages to detain him.
>"Outside of the incident with Nue, has anything else occurred over the past few days? How are the others doing?"

>Quite a lot has occurred. You haven't actually spoken to the Palanquin crew in quite some time. Though you assume that Chen has informed them of the events that led you to Eirin.
>You did not.

>"Still, I never expected my border to be a cause of so much trouble."
>"Apparently when the border cracked, while I kept it from completely breaking it still caused quite a few problems. Besides sealing off the Netherworld and Higan, it also managed to seal the nature gods in a crack in dimensions and wipe their memories from after the Suwa wars."
>"Undoing that was....a unique experience. Sanae was quite happy to be reunited with them though."
>"I did manage to find Nitori who already had sense knocked into her from her assistants, Hatate and Satori. During this I found out that Utsuho had died, and she was working to try to resurrect her."
>"Doing this needed Higan reopened, but on the trip there Satori ran into her sister, and a few misunderstandings led to....saying that things ended badly would be an understatement. I think Chen told you a bit about that one?"
>"I suppose that when Koishi awakes, both would be mad enough at me to forget about their problems with each other. A messy victory, but one none the less."
>"The good news is that following the current pattern, everyone who is missing is probably caught in a tear somewhere and can be eventually restored."
>"The bad is that a certain shrine maiden is tampering with the border, and considering her actions for the past two years, I doubt that its for anything good."

>That's everything in a nutshell except the Yuyuko thing, and that's private.

Tampering with the cycle of life and death is certainly a horrible idea, but if it brings a group some peace in these times, I'm willing to deal with the Yama."
>For the Satori family, Rin and Nitori we can't leave that be, no matter how much trouble its going to cause.

>You decide to simply walk into Eientei, you're bound to run into someone, right?
>Though, with your abysmal luck, you might not and so you ask Ran for directions.
>Soon enough, you find Ran up on a bed with Chen asleep by her side. Scattered about the bed are several square objects that you've come to know as a "Rubik's Cube".
>Ran also appears to be holding a solved cube in her hands, while Chen clutches onto one that she has yet to complete.
>Ran turns towards you as you enter, and you can see her try to give a small bow from the bed.

>Ran holds the Rubik's Cube with her left hand and balls her right hand into a fist before relaxing it. She does this several times.
>"It still feels strange at times, but it is fine. The doctor tells me to rest  for a few more days at the very least, but I do not feel that that is necessary. Perhaps I should ask to be discharged."

>"Do you know nothing of why this girl shut off her heart to others?"
>"She chose to avoid this world and you forced her back. Is it not obvious that she would react unfavorably?"
>"If you were forced into a world you despised, would you not do everything at your disposal to try to bring your old world back? In fact, is that not what you are doing right now?"
>"And yet, you failed to understand such a basic reaction and forced her to go through so much pain."
>"I will not accept your apology until you understand what you have done so that such a thing does not happen again."
>That eye staring at you is rather creepy.
>"Don't you dare to try and blame my sister for your actions."
