> You tell what happened to Kasen, and wait for a bit to see her reaction. She sits up a bit and continues petting the cat.
> "Maybe it's foretelling something. Go on."

> "Oh well, the....n...." Kasen's head droops. "Ah, I might be having a memory lapse, too. That situation seems kind of familiar, some...how..."
> She trails off and closes her eyes. Although she's sitting up, she appears to have fallen asleep again. The cat in her lap licks her bandaged hand.

> You don't have any previous knowledge. It's not like Kasen has ever slept over at the shrine before, and vice versa for you.

>Is there such a thing as a magical disease?
>or, say, a communicable curse?

> Contagious diseases affecting the mind almost exclusively affect youkai. However, curses can affect humans and youkai alike. Some curses stay with one person, while others spread. Your intuition doesn't sense anything from Kasen, though.

> You tell Kasen about what happened earlier, and her expression grows more severe as the story goes on. The effect is slightly ruined when she yawns, however.
> "It's a good thing you purified yourself, then. Those feathers must have had a bad effect on you. Still...do we know for sure whether the feathers and this off feeling are connected or not?"

> "I think if you've gone through the purification and there's still something left, then that's unrelated to what you just purged yourself of. And if it didn't come out with the feathers, then it must be a much deeper-rooted problem that can't be solved through normal means," Kasen says. "That's my guess. Your shrine has omamori, right? Maybe if you carry one of those around, it'll keep you from getting tainted again, at least until you figure out what's wrong."

>Let's go find Satori, we probably know where she's lurking this time of day.

> "Mhm." Kasen lies back down and covers herself with the blanket.
> You tread quietly down one of the halls, the one where the kitchen is. However, you know that Satori is most likely in the private lounge at this time of day. You enter through a doorway and head into a windowed room. The curtains are drawn back, giving view to the snowy courtyard outside. Old, dusty furniture is crowded around a lit fireplace, and on an armchair, Satori is sitting with a cup of what is probably tea. When you enter the room, she puts it down on an edge table and pads across the carpet to you.

> You go and give Satori a hug, and she gives you one at almost the exact same time. As she rests her head on your shoulder, you feel her third eye's veins wrap around you.
> "...You were hallucinating," she says, and continues holding you.
