>Koishi: "Okay, this is the same sort of stuff I felt in Meiling's mind. People's conceptions of her are coming in through this gap and influencing how she acts. But that doesn't really happen on its own."
>"Perhaps these perceptions can act that way..."

>"Somehow, these perceptions are being sent into Meiling and Sakuya, but I'm more curisous about how they're being gathered. It's not like there're gaps in everyone's heads, right? But these perceptions have to be gotten somehow. Someone has a way of taking these perceptions."
>"Mmhmm."

>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?
>You don't know of any ways people could gather perceptions up and cause these things to happen...

>Ask Yukari those questions, too.
>"Satori probably can't manipulate people's perceptions with their powers, and I don't know of any way anyone could do such a thing."

>Follow Yukari out of Sakuya's head.

>Koishi: "Right, we need a strategy meeting. Let's exit."
>"Right." After a few moments, a gap appears, which Yukari enters.

>Follow Yukari out of Sakuya's head.
>You follow Yukari out of Sakuya's head and emerge at the center of the library.

>Explain what we found.
>You explain what you found in Meiling's head. Rikako says "Okay, it wasn't probably you, Yukari, but I have to get this out of my system; did you screw up in some way?"
>Yukari replies "No."
>Rikako says "Well then."
>Eiki says "Perhaps we need to find who these perceptions are coming from."

>Koishi: "I can't think of any one person who could do this. Whoever's responsible is gathering everyone's perceptions of people together and sending them into those people's heads. People think Meiling's lazy, so she has compulsions to sleep on the job. Sakuya's being similarly affected."
>Reimu: "Wait, gathering?"
>Yuyuko: "Oh, does that mean something to you?"
>Reimu: "Suika can gather things. I don't think this is something she'd do, but maybe she can help us figure out what's going on."
>Shiki: "Do you know where to find her?"
>Reimu: Do we?

>Shiki: "Perhaps we should check the mountain and Bhava-Agra, since we're already nearby."

>Reimu: "Yes. Why? It's not like you never thought there were other libraries, is it?"
>Shiki: "Anyways, Yukari, would it be possible for us to pass through this gap? I know you could open your own gap to the same place, but please indulge my curiosity. If we can pass through this one but not the ones in people's minds, that may be important."

>Shiki: "Suika sounds like a good person to speak to, at least. Perhaps we should seek her out."

>Eiki, Reimu, Yuyuko and Koishi enter the gap, and Rikako heads for the exit of the library.
>You end up on a large white stone floor. The Moriya Shrine and some steps up is ahead. Behind you are some steps...down, of course. There's a fantastic view up here.

>You enter the shrine. It is empty of all people, unlike the last time you entered it today, where it was crowded. Obvious exits are West (where you came), North, and South.
