>You are Yukari Yakumo. YOU FINALLY GOT HOME THANK HEAVEN!
>You've been through a pretty lousy couple of days, getting sucked into some quasi-reality created by a horrible gestalt being(?) and spending much of this time being embarrassingly helpless. But you've managed to return home, get a change of clothing, and are finally getting things wrapped up and figuring out what happened. And getting a much-needed dinner.

> Thinking on it, would these memories simply be erased, or would they have to be "hidden"?

>You aren't certain. Time is one of those dimensions you can't really fiddle with, much to your irritation.

>"I suppose so," says Maribel, as Ran begins to place plates of grilled fish, miso, and rice on the table, "But, I guess that maybe they wanted to come back? If they can want anything?"

>You dig into your own food. It's not Ran's best, but in light of the past couple days, it is practically mana from heaven. While you dine, Reimu disappears through the back door, carrying a box full of stuff. Renko picks at her food, clearly pondering something or other, while Ran cleans up, then has a seat beside you and nibbles on a small portion of her own. It doesn't take you too long to finish, despite your efforts not to wolf it all down.

>"No, it's really delicious," says Maribel. Renko nods in agreement. "If there's seconds, I'll take them."
>"Unfortunately not," Ran says. "But that should last you for awhile, I hope?"
>"Yeah," says Maribel, as she starts to scrape at her nearly empty bowl.
