> The closest one is in Satori's room.
> You return to her room and check the clock on her desk. It's currently a few minutes past 1am.
> When you slip back under the covers, Satori stirs and lifts her head off the pillow.
> "Nngh...Reimu...?" she mumbles, squinting at you through half-open eyes.

> Satori gives you a sleepy smile before settling back onto the pillow.
> You try to make yourself as comfortable as possible, and let yourself drift. Going back to sleep at this point is hard, but the bed is so warm and your body so tired that before you know it, you're up and away.
> You open your eyes and find yourself curled up on a couch, still in the lounge where you last left off. Someone has put a blanket over you, and your wounds are gone. It is darker outside, and the air smells sweet. You are alone.

>Shake out the cobwebs, and step outside.

> You take a moment to stretch yourself out.
> You exit the lounge and step out onto the deck. The sky is still warm with the colors of the sunset. Going left will take you to the back of the shrine, and going right will take you to the front pathway.

>Head rightward.

> You go right, to the front of the shrine.
> On the shrine pathway, only a few people linger now. The helmeted man with the guitar who you saw earlier in the day is standing near the shrine gate, waving to a long-haired woman who is running up the stairs. They exchange a few words and walk away hand in hand. At the garden, only a few faeries remain to fly among the flowers. Their movements are relaxed, lazy even. The young woman with the unseasonably warm clothes is sitting on the donation box, twirling the end of her ponytail around her fingers. She's talking to a girl with short blue hair, a jumper and blouse, and an ugly purple umbrella.

> Kochiya Sanae is not present.
> You yell out at everyone who is present and ask if they've seen her. The umbrella girl and her ponytailed friend look over at you.
> "We were just wondering about that," the girl with the ponytail says. "Are you a friend of hers?"

Well that escalated quickly.

> "And which friend?"
> Hold on. Kikuri said something about her having a shrine maiden that looked like us. Maybe the Hakureis DO exist, but under a different name...?
> ... Wait, why would this Kikuri customer even HAVE a shrine maiden? If there are more gods lurking about...

> "She didn't say," says the umbrella girl with a small frown. "But she sure has been gone for a while."
> That would be odd, if the Hakureis just existed under a different name. Then again, if Kikuri has a shrine maiden then that would imply she's a god and you're pretty sure that whatever god you have at your shrine is NOT her.
