I was thinking we'd just fly her up to the moon and see if she could get anything.

Anyways:

> You read the note.
> Yuuka and I have left for Makai. We took Shanghai and Hourai with us. I took some other dolls with me and put the rest away, so you'll have to water the garden yourself.

- Alice
> The house does feel kind of empty, without all those dolls bustling around. The sewing mannequin dress is gone, but curiously, the key is still there. You see Chen curled up on the sofa.

> You put the tofu in the kitchen and start looking for a guest bedroom.
> On the way, you pet Chen on the head. She's asleep, so she doesn't respond.
> After some searching, you find a guest room on the second floor. There isn't much in it, as one would expect from a guest bedroom: an empty dresser, a bed, a nightstand, and a rug.

> You start to unpack, and put the memorabilia on top of the nightstand. Much better.
> The bed's big enough for two people at most.

> 'To put it simply, we were in the way of her using her full power. Before I contracted with her, and Chen contracted with me, we were both just as you see now. Chen's contract with me was linked with mine with hers, so when my contract was terminated I was unable to maintain my contract with Chen.'

>"Hey, if you were her shikigami, then do you know what that means?"

> 'What.' Her tone is flat and unamused.
> 'Gapped...it's when Yukari-sama rips open a hole in the air that leads to a hammer space; she also uses it to manipulate boundaries between different spaces. The spaces can be as far apart as Gensokyo and the Outside World, or different places within Gensokyo. Of course, that's only one of the less complicated aspects. You'd have to be there yourself to see gaps in action.'
