>Yuyuko: Exit Meiling's subconcious (alongside Yukari if she's still in there).
>"So we're all leaving? Right, right."
>She opens a gap which you and she exit through.

>Party: Follow Rikako to the next gap.
>You all follow Rikako to the next gap.
>You all stumble into a very clean kitchen. The floor is white. There are counters and shelves all over the place. Sakuya is next to one of them, and it looks like she's preparing some food.
>Obvious exits are North, South, and East.

>Yuyuko: "Nope. She can't do anything to these gaps for some reason. We don't know why."
>Reimu: "We think they're what's been causing all the, uh, problems."
>Shiki: "Apparently, there's no way for us to pass through these gaps, but Yukari says she can make a gap of her own to the same place the one in Meiling's head is to. However, I thought we should first look at the one in your head. We have no idea what we're dealing with, here; it's possible the gaps may not even be to the same place."
>Koishi: "Yukari'll take us in your head so we can look at the gap. Don't worry, we won't touch anything."

>Shiki: "I'm going, too."
>Reimu: "Um, why?"
>Shiki: "Because I want to see for myself what's there. Do recall that all this is somewhat more important to me than it likely is to you, given that I am personally and directly being affected by something that may very well have the same source."
>Yuyuko: "Just come back out before you go anywhere else so we can go with you. And so I can do first and check to see if the air does odd stuff."
>Koishi: If other people are in someone's subconcious, could we sense them in any way, and if so, how well? Specifically, could we follow their actions, or at least get messages from them and/or send messages to them? If we can, say so and propose staying outside.

>You can definitely track down the actions of other people in an unconscious and send messages to them. You decide to disclose this information to the others.
>Yukari says "That might make things easier if we were searching her unconscious for something, but if we went in Sakuya's unconscious, we should be able to find it immediately."

>Shiki: "Actually, I think that would be useful. It would allow us to coordinate external stimuli and observe the results. It's possible that whatever's causing the compulsion is dormant when the compulsion is not actively present, after all."
>Yuyuko: "Meiling was asleep, though."
>Shiki: "Yes, she was. She was already asleep when we went in. The compulsion had already done its work."
>Reimu: "So, what, we point Sakuya at Meiling while you just see if anything happens in her mind?"
>Shiki: "As much as I don't like the idea of deliberately risking Meiling coming to harm, yes. Hopefully, you will be able to restrain Sakuya when she goes for Meiling."
>Koishi: "Works for me. Yukari, Shiki, you head in. I'll coordinate the inside and outside groups."
>Shiki: "Right. Let's head in, Yukari."

>Examine the area.
>The ground you're standing on is maroon, though that might just be the lighting. A giant structure in front of you. Several balls displaying pictures and words, probably memories and thoughts, are floating around. Above you, there's lightning and a dim dark red sky. Yeah, much the same as before.

>Lead Sakuya out to Meiling
>You begin to lead Sakuya out to Meiling.

>You attempt to communicate with Eiki.

>Shiki: Can we hear Koishi? If so: "Yes. Can you hear me?" Think it, too.
>You hear Koishi loud and clear. It's like a loudspeaker (and you do know what those are). You reply back.

>Koishi: Can we?
>Yes, you can hear her. Your attempt to communicate has gone on successfully.

>When Sakuya goes for Meiling: Koishi: She's doing it.
>Eiki replies I see.

>Reimu/Yuyuko: Keep Sakuya back, with force if necessary.
>You hold back Sakuya with force. She simply chucks the knife at Meiling, but it doesn't seem to be thrown with very much force and lands harmlessly on Meiling's dress.


>Shiki: Did anything happen? If so, describe it to Koishi. If not, tell Koishi that nothing happened.
>No, nothing happened. You relay this information to Koishi.

>Are there such things as paralell worlds, and if so, what do we know about them?
>You haven't known about the existence of parallel world until now, so you don't know much about them.

>Koishi: What can we sense from the gap?
>You sense influences similar to the ones the came from Meiling's gap. Perceptions of people who know who Sakuya are and their notions of how Sakuya acts. You think these perceptions are changing her unconscious somehow...

>Shiki: Look around.
>You are currently facing the huge white gap in the middle of a lowered area with 8 tables. In front of you and on your sides are shelves and shelves of books. Behind you, Patchouli in sitting on a table, reading a book and paying you and your group no mind.

>Could another satori do that kind of thing, one who hasn't closed her third eye? And do we know of any other way it might be done?
