> Then she takes on a more serious tone.  "After all, you can't remember something you didn't experience in the first place."

>What do we recall before and after our boxing match with alleged unconsciousness?

> Danmaku, and flying.  Gensokyo looked tiny from the air.  You remember being at Satori's place for a while before you went back to the shrine.
> Akyuu looks back and forth between you and Yukari.  She looks like she wants to say something, and then she actually says something.
> "Hakurei-san, I think you'll remember.  Memories always come back."

> Akyuu seems to wilt where she sits.  "I don't know what happened with you, either, though."
> You think back to that night.  Oh, it was night.  You had to watch everything very closely, because the danmaku was the kind everyone used before spellcards became the norm.  You must have gotten hit by some of those bullets.
> Suika reappears at this moment with a bundle of paper and writing materials.  Akyuu practically grabs them from her and starts writing.

> "...the sun was blotted out for half the year, if I recall correctly," Yukari is saying.
> "Oh, I know about that..."
> "...Also, I believe that the Aki sisters experienced an exponential growth in faith after the incident itself..."
> They go on saying things like this.  This is more boring than you thought.  It sounds like they're just going over minor details of the incident.  You feel sleepy just listening to them.

> It's the kotatsu, because you're lazy and never put it away, but the heater is not on because it's summer and you'd be broiled miko otherwise.
> You leave them to their own affairs and disappear under the kotatsu.  Your foot nudges something and you realize Suika is under there too.  She looks half-asleep and doesn't notice you, but you feel something crawling on your arm.  It's a mini-Suika.  She looks like she's trying very hard to reach your shoulder.

> The mini-Suikas, unlike the actual Suika, are harmless.  You let this little one reach your shoulder.
> She wraps some of your hair around herself and talks into your ear in a tiny Suika voice.
> "Heeey, it's not your fault y'know.  Yukari isn't gonna play Miss Exposition for you, though.  Trust me I know these things."

> "She's useful in her own way," says the mini-Suika.  She yawns and snuggles into your hair a bit.  "I'm gonna turn in for the night.  If you have any questions or anything I'll answer 'em in the morning."

> The mini-Suika quickly falls asleep in your hair.  You feel ready to fall asleep yourself, but you have to stay awake.  You'd rather fall asleep in nice, soft futon than under the table.  Besides, Yukari is still here and you'd rather wait until you can confirm she won't raid your kitchen or something after you've conked out...

> That night, you dream you are floating in a black void.  Then, the darkness splits open to reveal a stunning underwater landscape.  Every shade of blue you've ever seen is here.  It's in the ripples and the light that reflects in the water, and the over-sized fish that swim by your head.  The current is strong and you are swept away with a vortex of bubbles.  Your breath is taken away and you're struggling for air.  You're reminded, for some reason, of the pebbles you see on the river bank: the water swallows them up and breaks them down, and they become fine grains on the river floor.
> You wake up, disoriented and confused.  You're in your futon, and you feel something heavy across your stomach.  It is dead silent.

> You look left and right.  It's just you, Suika, and Akyuu, who is fast asleep in the futon you laid out for her.
> With the experience of a professional, you slither out from under the blankets.  Suika flops onto the ground without you supporting her body weight, but all she does is drool on the blankets.

> It has stopped raining.  There's a gentle wind blowing now, carrying with it the scent of salt.  You see, among the sparrows that usually visit your shrine, a flock of white birds you've never seen before.  They seem unperturbed by the rivulets of water that run between the cobblestone.  But what you see in the courtyard is the least strange view you have.  Gensokyo's landscape, which you can see clearly from the shrine, is half-submerged by waves of semitransparent, shimmering water.  From a distance you can barely make out shadowy shapes floating along underwater, and you hear the gentle lapping of waves in the distance.  In the sky are suspended bubbles of the stuff, hanging against a backdrop of a pleasantly starry sky.  The sun shines through a crack that runs along the sky like a scar.
> It almost looks like a wound.  You think you're going to get a headache looking at it.  It looks painful.

> Possibly Sanae, this kind of colorful stuff isn't beyond her tastes.  You rule out Kanako because you know she likes to keep herself in good favor with other people.  You wouldn't put this kind of thing past the kappa, but none of them have this kind of power.  It might be an illusion pulled by faeries but it's so easy to tell when they're planning something, you would've taken notice days beforehand.  Yukari might be another culprit because of the birds, which you've never seen in Gensokyo before.  Judging by the state of the sky, you briefly consider Flandre, who could break anything she wants.  You also suspect Tenshi, who has caused natural disasters for attention.
> You hear Suika sleep-mumbling in the other room.
