>"It sounds like you're implying things were better off without us."

> Ran gives you an incredulous look, and says somewhat heatedly, "If all of you died, then the Boundary would go down and there wouldn't be a Gensokyo. When I found Tamiko dead and couldn't find you, I had to keep it quiet so nobody would go into a panic."

>"Guess I'm a bit sensitive about that kind of thing. So how did you keep people from noticing there was no one at the shrine?"

> "...That's understandable." Ran, who seemed bristled up before, calms down. "In the past, the shrine used to have more visitors, but by the time Tamiko became the shrine maiden, she saw even less activity there than you did. When Lady Yukari woke up for the first time in four years, a human child had apparently strayed onto the shrine grounds, so she constructed a barrier to ward off anyone else."

> "I don't remember, she didn't have a very distinct appearance," Ran says. "Tamiko was more of a show than tell kind of person when it came to her abilities, but I sometimes got the feeling that there was something else she was hiding. I suspect she also had a photographic memory, but never saw reason to tell anyone about it."

>Head back inside and locate Konngara.

> You leave Ran and Chen alone, and go back into the shrine. Backtracking into the kitchen, you see that all the groceries have been put away. The back door has been left open, and you see Konngara out in the back yard, standing among the trees near the pond. She's looking up at something and doesn't look busy, or about to leave.

> The two of you head off into the nearby forest. Because the shrine and nearby areas are above sea level, it doesn't take long for you to find a dry clearing. Although trees block out the worst of the sunlight, Konngara is still squinting and holding her arm up to shield her eyes. You eventually come across a largish tree, with roots protruding from the ground. Konngara takes a seat on one of them and looks around, taking in her surroundings.
