> "Of course there is, but I wouldn't expect anyone to recognize me," Layla says. She floats closer to you, still brandishing the triangle. "And you haven't answered my question."

> "Oh. Well, it's awfully suspicious of you to just show up here like this," Layla says, swimming circles around you. The edge of her dress passes through your arm, and you get shivers down your spine. "There's nothing interesting here, after all."

> You introduce yourself and explain your intentions. Layla lowers her triangle, and you feel your muscles relax. So does her harsh expression, you notice.
> "The Hakurei shrine maiden? You sure aged well."
> Layla lets herself float to the ceiling. "The last time I saw you, you were a melancholy-looking thing wandering out into the wilderness. Where were you going?"

>Floatswim toward the dresser, and determine the best way to grab it.

> You swim over to the dresser. You don't think you'll be able to get a good hold from between it and the floor, but maybe you could move it if you tried pushing it up.
> Meanwhile, Layla begins to talk about the mansion.
> "This place used to be in the Outside World, a long time ago," she says. "I lived here with my three younger sisters, and when...when they grew up, they all went their separate ways. I stayed here, of course. Then everyone forgot about this place and me, so I ended up here in Gensokyo. I don't get company here, so it's nice and quiet. There's not much to do but play music, though."
> She taps the triangle a few times. It sounds clear and bright despite being underwater.

> The two of you lift the dresser, and start dragging it down to the first floor. You almost drop it when you're on the stairs, but the two of you are able to safely deposit it on the ground where it can do no harm. Layla dusts her hands off on her gown.
