I don't know why we're here, so someone is going to have to take over.

> Let ourselves in.
> "Sorry for disturbing you, what were you doing?"

> You go through the door and find yourself in a room with a low, angled ceiling.  There's a sodden rug at your feet and shoes strewn across the floor.  You appear to be standing in a tiny foyer, the ground of which raises up and leads into the rest of the house.  The only doors you see are tapestries hanging from openings in the cave wall here and there, so you have a pretty good view of the rest of the house from here.  Danmaku you recognize from "Shiro's Ashes" dot the ceiling, providing the house with light.  To the right is a kitchen, fitted with a tiny oven and a table with four chairs.  The left doorway leads down a hall and splits off into other rooms.  Farther in is what you assume is the sitting area, and it is here where Parsee is standing over the remains of a broken something, sweeping the clay shards into a manageable pile.  More blankets and sheets are piled up on the couch, and towels are arranged on the floor under the laundry that has been strung up around the room to dry.  It's quite messy.
> "Just doing some cleaning," Parsee grunts.  She sets the broom off to the side and reaches under the coffee table for a dust pan.  "You scared the shit out of me."

It could be that she wants to talk about it. Her tells are kind of unusual, and maybe we should use some unusual prodding?

Do we think Parsee is behind the flood or actively interfering with our investigation? Because if the answer to both of those questions is 'no', then we need to stop wasting time being an asshole and antagonizing her.

It's my hypothesis that this is what Parsee wants or needs. If her response doesn't continue her story, we can leave her alone in good conscience.

I'm with Kilga. Less because it's antagonizing her and more that I don't think Reimu would actually care very much. I don't think Parsee rates very high on her list in the best of times.

OK, well fortunately we can easily retcon the intent behind the dialogue to Reimu not caring about Parsee and just trying to casually one-up her.
