>There are two islands nearby. One is close to Renko and Maribel's home, but is out in the open. The other is the island where you met with Remilia; it is a little fither away, but hovers over the forest.

>Nue nods.
>You trek that way, leaving Nue by the stream. Moving through the forest is easy enough, the poltergeist is a fairly good leader, even though the amount of looking around she does while walking almost makes your head sore just watching her. Soon you cross over the road, in sight of Kourindou, and into the thicker part of the forest. Your progress slows here, especially since the poltergeist can't just hover over problematic things like you can.
>Soon enough, you reach a small, clear area under the island, you suspect if the leaves hadn't fallen, the sky would be mostly obscured here. "This will do," says the poltergeist, as she walks to the middle of the spot and kneels on the ground, placing her hands on the dirt.

>You make your way out of the forest, which takes a little more effort than before to keep from getting a twig in the eye, and fly to the topside of the island.
>Reaching the village, you find it was significantly cleaner than it was before, and less active. Some of the houses have lights in the windows, including the one where you saw Sakuya last.

>"If there is a problem, I have ways to get to safety," Sakuya says.
>You leave Sakuya and the island behind, returning to the spot where you left the poltergeist, and explain things to her. "Alright," she says. "I'll begin now."
>She kneels on the ground, and places both her hands over it. As you observe, the dim shadow blanketing the tiny clearing darkens considerably, soon becoming as inky as everything else around you. There doesn't seem to be as much of a show as last time, just blackness that radiates from the poltergeist into the clearing.
>As the shadow darkens, the poltergeist seems to get...lighter. You're not certain what to make of it, until you can dimly see the trees opposite of the clearing through her! By the time she stands again, a few moments later, she is most noticeably transparent. You can even see the back of her mask through her head before she turns to face you again.
