You asshole, you mugged us in that dream! The least you could do is come clean about it!

>"I'll see what I can do," says Utsuho. "Right now it's too early to make any real plans for it. Really, we shouldn't have even done it today, with the rain, but we'd been working on that thing for months, and we were kind of impatient..."

>She nods, then says. "Yeah, but this is us being the bigger people. Parsee was all for just burning down their shrine in retribution, and keeping it up every couple weeks until they begged us for reconciliation. Yuugi probably would have been behind it, too, except she didn't want to bring that kind of trouble into the city."
