>"Mokou! Good to see you're holding up the fort. What's the situation?"
>Pull out Mokou's package. "Also, Rinnosuke said this was for you."

> "Bad," Mokou says as she combs back her bangs. "Everyone else is on that ship over there, and I'm on the hunt for a floating body I saw earlier. You didn't happen to see a girl looking in her early to mid teens around here, did you?"
> She takes the package from you and holds it up over her head.
> "Sweet. Send them my thanks."

>Look around for the body. "Where was the last place anyone saw her?"

>On that note...when was the last time we saw Satori? Oh god oh god oh god

> You look around and see nobody...no body, that is.
> Mokou clicks her tongue. "Around Myouren, or the graveyard a few nights ago, I think."
> You internally panic over Satori. You think the last time you saw her was last Saturday or Sunday.

>Follow the current and fly north.

> "Got it." Mokou stuffs the package down the front of her shirt and sinks underwater.
> You follow the current farther away from the ship and over the fields. You don't see any bodies, but you do see lots of fish, especially the large finned ones. They all seem to be swimming in the same direction you are.

>How much do we know about fish? Are these big ones native to Gensokyo?
>Do we have any idea where the current is going to lead at this point? My first guess is the underground given that it'll probably serve as a basin for all the water, but that's a dangerous assumption.

> You don't recognize any of these fish.
> You're not sure where the current is headed. You have a bad feeling that it's going to drain underground, but you don't know for certain.
> As you fly, the larger fish swim ahead towards the bank, which is really just made of the tops of some trees skimming the surface of the water.

> Oh, god. You think you've found her.
> You take a closer look to see if there's a body. There is. Water is dripping from its...no, her skirt and shirt. She somehow got caught in the branches and is now suspended there, having miraculously kept both shoes. Her right arm is bent in an awkward angle and she isn't moving.

> They're sticking their gross slimy mouths out of the water, trying to nip at her.
> You wonder how you're going to get that body. You could try parting the branches from above and grabbing her, or making like a fish and pull her out from below.

> You scatter the fish with some basic danmaku. Within seconds, you're alone with the corpse.
> You could try and clear the branches above her, and drag her out.
> She seems light enough for you to carry back.

>Clear out some branches and try to gt down to her. Do keep a wary eye on her, though, in case she turns out to be one of those zomberts. Can't been too careful about those with Seiga and the like around.

> You use your danmaku to clear away the branches.
> You now have a clear view of the girl, who still hasn't moved. She's laying face-down on the branches with leaves in her dark blue hair. Her clothes, although nothing too flashy, seem different from that of the clothes the people from the village wear. Your suspicions are confirmed when you pick her up: she is very light. Once she's in your arms, you notice a tattered piece of paper stuck to her forehead. Most likely from debris floating in the water or something.
> The entire time you are handle this body, you are forcibly reminded of that hermit Seiga. Before she came to Gensokyo you didn't have to worry about this stuff. Luckily, she's not a grave robber...you think.

> You adjust your hold on her and end up in something of an awkward hug. At least it'll be easier to dump her if anything happens.
> You try speaking to her, but she doesn't respond.
