> "Okay, bye!" Sanae takes off before you can get in another word.
> With that done, you fly off towards the Prismriver Mansion. You leave Youkai Mountain and fly east, over the expanse of water until you've gone far away from most familiar landmarks. Below you see the trees become thinner and duller in color, and you know you're getting close. The sun burns bright and warm in the sky and you can see your destination. It's not that hard to find because it's the only thing for miles in these parts. The tall, spindly castle stands unaffected by the water that surrounds it, all alone.

> You fly down to the tall doors and pound it with your fists. You wait for a few moments, but no one answers you.

>We tried. Open door!

> You lack the patience to wait for someone to let you in, so you let yourself in. Opening the doors is very difficult, but somehow you manage to get inside the mansion.
> Light filters in through the broken windows and holes in the ceiling. The water is murky and littered with floating, moldy furniture. You bob up and down in a huge ballroom, with a flight of stairs leading up to the second floor hallways...whatever is in their rooms. This place is decrepit.

> You think it came from the second floor. It sounded far off, but not that far off, and you're pretty high from the floor right now.

> Swim that way, and keep an eye out for more flexo fish.

> You swim towards the staircase and the second floor, remembering the incident at Alice's house.
> So far, though, it's all quiet here. As you're swimming down one of the hallways, you see a cloud of dust up ahead, and a large something on the floor.

> Investigate the large something.

> You swim closer, and through the dust, you see that it's a large wardrobe. It has fallen through what used to be a door to the left, and is creaking on the floorboards like it'll fall through at any moment.

> You take out the flashlight, turn it on, and shine it into the room.
> It's just as rotten as everywhere else. The wallpaper is peeling and chunks of floorboard are floating in the water.
> As you're looking, a loud ringing resonates throughout the hallway. You seize up as though you were cold, and your hand closes in a death grip around the flashlight.

> You try not to jump, and succeed. It's hard to move all of a sudden, but you're able to rotate slowly in place until you're looking behind you. In the gloom you see a woman with long green hair that fans out around her in the water. She's wearing a long-sleeved white gown and holding a silver triangle, which she taps with a thin rod. The ringing sounds out again, and you freeze up again.
