>Bring keine to the house, tell her about the hat
>Think tail to be adorable

>You lead Keine toward the house, telling her about the familiar hat. "It sounds like you may have found it." says Keine. "We'll have to have a look."
>It really is.

> Wait, are we still holding the mystery person's hat?

>You check the Strangley Familiar Hat.
>It is no longer a hat so much as a dusty and fragile red band and a few white threads clinging tenaciously to it.

>Ask if Keine can trace the hat's history.

>You are not about to go delving into Meiling's psyche. It's terribly rude.
>You show Keine the remains of the hat. She gingerly takes them and mulls over them. "...No," she says, frowning deeply and swishing her tail in agitation. "I can't sense it at all. It's as if this object has no history at all. That is, as though it never existed at all. You're definitely onto something, Patchouli. Good job."

>"We'll see about that," She says, setting a resolute face as she enters the house.
>"A previous iteration?" Keine shakes her head. "To be honest, I have no idea if such a thing would exist."
>Keine nods to your request, looking around with calculating eyes. You descend downstairs.
>The basement stairs, thankfully, seem a lot more firm than the ones leading to the second floor. You don't feel any danger at all from them.
>The basement has apparently it has not seen any kind of attention in a dog's age. It is also flooded with a couple inches worth of stagnant water. You imagine, during the spring and summer months, it must be quite the mosquito trap. All sorts of curious pond scum float atop the murky water, in a manner that does not invite you to investigate them further.
>"You thought I was lying, didn't you?" says the voice into your ear softly.
>You catness rating went up by about ten, because you are feeling very jumpy right all of a sudden.

>"I didn't say anything," says Keine, standing at the top of the stairs. "Did you hear something?"
>You look around, but don't see any place where the voice may be coming from. You'd swear the speaker was standing right next to you, though.
>"You don't need my permission," says the voice, "but I appreciate that you asked."
>"I guess," says Keine, apparently unaware of the voice's reply, as she moves away from the landing.

>"I'll give you a little help." the voice says, "I shouldn't exist. It wasn't the plan, but that's just how things go. But you weren't awake for what followed, so I'll fill you in. Have a seat, the stairs aren't so bad."
>The voice moves in front of you. "You know who I am, and some of the things I did. So you know, along the way, I made more than my share of enemies. Suika, Nitori, the Prismrivers, Parsee and Yuugi, you... Enough to be a real problem. So, I hit on a solution. I bothered my little Hakutaku friend, and made a request. Erase all memories of myself from Gensokyo. Then I could make a fresh start, and things would still be peachy keen from all the good I did. I think you can put the rest together."

And as Keine said, that affected the world in ways none of us could really predict. And look how it's changed! Flandre's no longer a robot, Medicine and Hina never ran off with Alice's dolls, Remilia's not a goddamned brat, Reimu never started that bingo parlor... And those are just things I didn't do myself, like summon Giygas. I don't even think it exists now. Interesting how history is interconnected in subtle ways, isn't it?"
