>"I'm okay with that."
>Is Konngara still around? If so, is she paying attention?

> Konngara is still around; she has retrieved a piece of chalk from somewhere and is drawing on the path nearby, glancing up at the three of you every now and then.

>"Bring her over here, if you could?"

> Konngara nods again and runs behind the shrine. You, Sanae, and Sariel wait for a few minutes, until Konngara returns. Floating behind her in a glowing bronze orb is Kikuri, who looks like the perfect picture of calm right now. Sariel stands up from where she was kneeling with the towels and watches as the two approach.

> "Oh, my. How long will she be staying here?" Kikuri asks. She floats forward so that Konngara is now standing behind her.
> You can't tell at all.

> "That could take anywhere from a few months to a few years," Kikuri says. "This is all very sudden, but I could take her in and see what happens."
> Kikuri nods at Sariel, who furrows her brow in confusion and nods back.

> "You're welcome," Kikuri says. She then looks over to Konngara and says, "Why don't you show her around the house?"
> Konngara nods and heads for the front door, making a beckoning motion as she goes. Sariel wraps the towels around her shoulders a little tighter and follows Konngara into the shrine. When they are gone, the bronze orb around Kikuri vanishes, and she steps onto the pathway.

> "Back to normal. All the flood waters are gone," says Kikuri. She looks over at Sanae and asks, "Is Sariel from here?"
> "No. She somehow got in from the outside," Sanae explains. "I...I think she's the presence I felt when I was out in the open space with Yukari."
> "That's the first time I've heard about that," Kikuri remarks.
> "It's really complicated," says Sanae.

> "That's understandable," says Kikuri. "I have a few questions for Sanae, but first, what time is it?"
> Sanae takes the wrist watch from her pocket again and looks at it.
> "8:32 in the morning," Sanae says.
