>Shiki: "Yes, she is experiencing something that has also happened to me, although in her case, it looks like it's happening much more quickly."
>Yuyuko: "Yeah, are you sure us having you make all these gaps isn't making it go faster?"
>Shiki: "Come, Rikako. Let us enter."
>Enter the gap with Rikako.
>Reimu: "Once they're done in there, maybe you should gap them directly into Sakuya's mind without bringing them back out here first.
>Koishi: "Hey, that means we wouldn't have to go find Sakuya!"
>Reimu: "Yes, there's also that. They can go rom China to Sakuya to right back here."

>Enter the gap.
>You enter the gap and find yourself in...a place similar to the place where you before. Judging by the orbs of memories you see around here, you can judge that this is Sakuya's unconscious.

>On the display, you see an alley. There is a man in a trash can with a few people sitting around him. The man says "You give her your warmest smile. She returns with one of her own. 'But really, what now?'"

>The big-breasted girl says "Let's go, then! Leave the guest room."
>The man replies "You leave the guest room and return to the living room. Utsuho is still there And aside from turning on her side and being free of feline passengers, she's more or less how you left her. No, wait, she just scratched her side a bit."
>The girl then whispers to the other people around her. "Uh, well, my 'major plan' has been executed and finished at this point. If people have ideas for actions they should be inputting them. I'm certainly going to keep going, but I don't want to feel like I've taken over the game like I felt I did with a good chunk of the latter half of Reisen Quest."

Shiki knows who those people are, I think. She knows Reisen for sure (PoFV).
 
>...Well, then. You're enjoying this, aren't you, parser?
>Shiki: "They seem to be speaking as though they're playing a game. Hmm... well, we'd already determined that this world we're seeing here has knowledge of Gensokyo, and these people seem to be playing a game involving Gensokyo. Could they perhaps know of our world through some form of fiction?"

>...Well, then. You're enjoying this, aren't you, parser?
>Yes. Yes I am. Breaking the third-and-a-half wall is amusing.

>Do we have any idea how another world like this might know about Gensokyo? If not, pose it as an open question.
>You haven't known about beings who know about Gensokyo in this way...

>Rikako says "It's...heck, I wouldn't know if it was likely or unlikely."
>Yukari says "It's entirely possible. I've been to places where another world I've seen is represented in books and other media."

>The man in the trash can says "You head into the kitchen, working your way around the cats along the way. Inside, you see Satori standing at the counter, chopping some daikons on a cutting board; it is an interesting thing to view. 'Ah, welcome, she says, without turning to look at it. I was just getting started on dinner preparations. It'll be a little while yet, Orin won't be home for awhile, but I want to be ready when she is.' She then gives you a curious glance over her shoulder. 'And I know I told you that you should be more honest, Renko, but I didn't quite expect you to be that punctual about it.'"

>Shiki: "Hmm... if that world knows Gensokyo as fiction, then perhaps that would explain the origin of beliefs about various people that are less than accurate, such as Meiling being lazy. Fanbases seem to have a tendency to focus on specific traits of characters, even if said characters posess those traits only minorly, or even if something is just given a passing mention. Even if it's not necessarily a trait that character has."
>If Rikako asks how we know this: "I judge the souls of the dead, including those from the outside world. You learn a lot about people by doing that, and I've been doing it for a very long time. I've picked up all kinds of random knowledge."
