> "You wanna explain it to her?"

>"I haven't slept in a day," says Reimu. "And I had to deal with an incident. Trust me, I'm not in the mood to compare who had a worse day."
>"And you oughta show some respect!" the faerie says, as she looks up from fanning Reimu with a small towel.
>"Explain what?" Reimu says, before Kasen can answer.

>"I will!" says Kasen, as you depart.
>You make your way southward, in search of the entrance to the Underground. You pass over the plains, and the eastern edge of the Forest of Magic, as the sun rises and morning properly breaks over Gensokyo. You see some faeries here and there, but they seem content not to bother you as you search along the border of the Forest of Magic, where it meets with the eastern mountains. It takes a little time, but you are soon able to find the cavern that leads down below the surface.

>You descend downward, back into the comfortable gloom and low ceilings. Feels like you had almost forgotten what cavern air smells like; that faint hint of ancient dust and and mold. The tunnel feels practically like walking through your own front door. Soon it widens to the chamber where Yamame likes to spin her webs. You barely even have to look around to find her sitting against one of the stalagmites, enjoying a bun of some sort.
