>"Well, I'll take that off your hands, honey."
>Warm smile. Hold out hand for the book.
>She hugs the Grimoire, and shakes her head.
>"Nuh huh, I want to actually help you! I don't want to be a pushover anymore!"
>You can see the book glows faintly... the words "Grimoire of Alice" are written in golden letters. You guess you can't take that book out of her hands anymore.
>Byakuren's expression is... of complete confusion and a little fear. What the hell is going on through her mind?

>In front of you there is one (1) Byakuren Hijiri. She's rather flustered, scared and confused.
Had to search, actually, because I wasn't quite sure myself. Odd that we know her name and that she's a Buddhist, but practically nothing else...

The parser knows. Shinki herself does not.
>Do we still feel we're in Makai?
>Actually you can't feel a thing. This isn't Makai anymore.

The parser knows. Shinki herself does not.
Then you shouldn't really confuse us by giving us information that the character doesn't know. The parser said that Byakuren Hijiri is in front of us, so that means that Shinki knows that Byakuren Hijiri is in front of her. If Shinki doesn't know what Byakuren's name is, then the parser shouldn't have said what it was.

Sorry for the rudeness, but I felt it was necessary.

> Float closer to Byakuren, and get a hold on her arm.
> "No, this is not fun, Alice, this is dangerous! Listen to Mommy, and close the book!"

Don't be afraid of pointing such things to me! I'm still kinda new to text adventures, so learning the hard way will have a better effect on the future of this.

>You grab the buddhist's arm. You can see she feels a little braver now.
>"What book? This is all me!"

So, let's go ahead and clarify again, so everyone's on the same page:

> Do we know the Buddhist's name?
> "No, it's not you, Alice, sweetie, it's the book. Listen to Mommy, the book is controlling you! Let go of its power!"

>"But I haven't got any book in my hands! I never had one!"
>The room's color shifts. Instead of white, it's now dark red, with some random patches of black.
