> Carefully let Kouyoshi down, and cover her with the futon.
> "Kaay, let's go!" Follow Mystery Girl X.

> You move away from Kouyoshi and pull the futon over her. She curls into her tail and mumbles.
> The girl stands up and casts one last look towards "Sigma", before skipping off across the room. You follow her.

> The two of you start towards a flight of stairs, and you ask the girl her name.
> "Me? I am Rika! I live here with some other people." She looks rather proud of herself when she says this. "You could say that the eyes are like my army."

> Rika's face falls a little. "What do you mean? I live here."
> The two of you clear the flight of stairs. Rika makes a left and starts down the hall, presumably towards the library you were just at.

> "But, aren't you human? Humans don't live way out here."

> "But I do," Rika says. "You just don't go out at night when the youkai come out. Besides, the lady who owns this castle would protect me, because Sigma and I chase out intruders."
> She then looks at you.
> "Er...well..."

> The two of you are now walking down the hall lined with lamps. Rika's braids swing as she skips along.
> "That would be Mima-sama. She's kind of scary, but she lets us live 'ere and stuff. She's not home right now, though."

> "She's really scary, but she doesn't go around eating people," Rika says. "She's, um...she has a ghosty tail, but she says she isn't a ghost...It's weird."
> You may or may not have to beat up a "Mima" individual.

> You've never seen ghosts before, except in drawings. They just looked like wispy blobs there, though.

> "It's a huge body of water," Rika explains. "Bigger than any lake. They're supposedly really far away, and go on forever."
> She steps into the library and looks around. "Really salty, too."

> You hear the sound of something heavy hitting the floor, and Rika seems to perk up.
> "Oh!" She looks around, and starts off towards the noise. It wasn't that far from you.

> You walk around the bookshelf to see a strange sight.
> There's a woman scrambling to pick up the books on the floor. She's wearing a blue robe that goes down past her ankles and hands, and a darker blue panel overtop that. Her long, dark purple hair spills over her shoulders as she kneels over to pile the books in her arms. Two large white wings sprout from her back, quavering and molting feathers onto the floor.
> "It's Shikoba," Rika says. "She's one of the people who lives here."
> The woman looks up at the two of you, but she doesn't say anything or even change her facial expression.

> The woman pauses in reaching out for one of the books on the floor, and looks at the feather. She tilts her head from side to side before reaching out and taking it, stuffing it back in her left wing amongst the many other feathers.
