> "This will do nicely. Please, have a seat."

>The do so, filing into the room. Eirin and Reisen take one couch, Keine and Mokou another. Kaguya selects a plush chair that afford a good view through the window.
>"So, what's all this about?" says Mokou as she leans back on the couch. For a moment you wonder if she's about to kick her feet up on the table, but she doesn't. At least not yet.

>Reisen accepts them. "They'll what?" she says. But before you can answer, they do just that, her gems arcing toward the ones in her hands and seamlessly sliding together to form a single set of gems.

>Eirin nods. "I've observed similar effects before, and I believe you more or less have it correct, though perhaps from the opposite direction. I would suggest rather than time not tolerating it, the two items are in such perfect harmony, and their spirits in at a state of oneness, that they naturally fuse together."

> Look to Mokou.
> "This then led to you doing...something. Everyone I talked to that knew anything either did not know very much, or refused to talk about it. To most of Gensokyo, you simply vanished, never to be seen again; to a select few who knew more than that, you were likely permanently sealed away in Higan. Perhaps this was the end result of a failed pursuit of Miss Kamishirasawa's soul? I can only speculate."
