>"Sanae, I know you're feeling terrible right now, but there's work to be done. "
>"That isn't true at all. I always have teammates for incident solving, and you did a lot of work during the Buddhist and Taoist invasions."
> Blank look.> "What do you mean, what am I?"
>"That's exactly right. I'm not THE incident solver; I'm AN incident solver. You're one as well. ">Hug Sanae.>"And you know it too. This flooding incident is too big for one person to handle. I need your help. Please Sanae?"
>Don't hug Sanae, we have a reputation to maintain.>Do an arm around the shoulder instead.>Also, we don't NEED her help, we just want it. So instead say, "And we need to get this solved as quick as possible."
>"You did alright with the buddhist thing, and the taoist thing, didn't you?">We'll not mention the Brocken Spectre thing right now.
>"Yeah. We'll have to unscrew it. But don't worry, not like you'll be completely alone."
> "Well, first we need to figure out WHAT needs to be fixed: still dunno what caused all of this. Then when we can prove that Kanako didn't flood everything, there'll be more faith in her and *poof* she's back."
> "Then we need to figure out who really caused this incident. Now, are you gonna help me?"
> Give Sanae a hearty slap on the back. "Glad to hear it."> Pop up to our feet and pull Sanae up. "So, here's the deal..." Summarize the going ons, with the flooding, the sky, the Yakumo disappearance, and the shards.
>Let her see them.>Do we see any kind of wound on her where the bloody one may have come from?
>Yeesh.>Actually, now that we have this many, does it look like they can be partially assembled?
> "It's the same color as your glow."> Do we have a handkerchief or something? If so, give it to Sanae.
>Take them back. Is she still glowing?>Idly try to fit them together.
>"Rinnosuke made it. It's been kinda helpful, since I spent a lot of time in the water yesterday."
> Oh come on, where's that energetic interloper from before?> "Hey, head up." When she looks up, wipe her face with our sleeve vigorously.
