>Take off glasses
>"u?...wait...if we beat the sun...isn't that...bad? Like, doing the exact reverse of what Yuka did?"

>You remove the glasses, and can see again. But it's getting dark.
>"I imagine it'd probably be something to worry about if it goes on long enough."

> Contemplate just what kind of punishment Reimu is likely to inflict upon you for this.
> Shudder
> Feel despair overtake you.

>...You need to go see Byakuren and fix up your karma quick...

>Take off glasses
>"...well, I think I solved the heatwave problem. Maybe Utsuho can make a new sun for Gensokyo later...?"
>Wonder if Remilia would be happy or mad to know you killed the Sun, allowing her to go outside whenever she likes

>Yukari extracts herself from the bed of peonies, stores her glasses away in a gap, and brushes herself off. "I think she'd be all too happy to do that, wouldn't you? In the meantime, doesn't it feel just delicious out right now?"
>You can imagine Remilia could find some fault in it.

>Wait...we are looking..UP at gensokyo now, right?
>Weren't we previously looking...DOWN at Gensokyo?
>"Wait...did we beat it or did it just set?"

>You were looking up, as you did when the rocket first landed here. Although now it's too dark to see Gensokyo.
>"I am pretty sure you beat it," says Yukari.

>Ask yukari if she can gap a new sun - this time one that obeys logic and is not on a floating island of flowers.

>"What was wrong with that one?" Asks Yukari, "Well, except for it being tampered with. And no, that's just too big of a job."

>might as well see how Yuuka's doing, too

>Yuka is about how you left her. It doesn't look like she'll be waking up anytime soon.

>tilt head
>"It would be nice if we could ask her what she did, exactly..."

>The Sun Shard in your Commemorative Stein has stopped burning, though it still feels warm.
>"It is kind of a pain," says Yukari, "But you don't get to see that every day, so we'll not worry about it."
>Yukari nods. "Indeed. It would be nice to avoid another heatwave like that. I was trying to rest."
>It is getting awful hard to see now.

>You tell Yukari about the situation with your mostly non-existent friend. "Hmmm," says Yukari. "I suppose I could play with a few borders before bed, but it will be awfully hard to do so if I can't percieve this person. I wonder if you could just stick him in a doll and call it a day?"

>"Putting Jeff in a doll may be a very good idea... Medicine and Alice would be very interested. It'd be nice to ask him first, but I doubt you want to stop by the underground to listen to me talk to myself just for that."

>"Mmmm, tell me what he says afterwards. Yuyu and I will have to talk."

>"Is it going to be pitch black anywhere without a light source, until we get Utsuho to make a new sun?"

>It seems the prism needs some light to sparkle. The Sun shard, no longer on fire, also provides no light. "A prism should do, once you prepare it."
>"Well, I imagine the stars will be out," says Yukari, "not that we can see them here, but I'd keep a lantern with me."
