> Youmu: What is the floor in this room made of?> Youmu: Is there a table or some other non-floor flat surface behind? If not, is there at least a wall?
> Miko: How're those talismans coming along?> Miko: Are Reimu and Byakuren behaving themselves?> Youmu: Is there room on the table for us to lay Miko's sword without knocking the urn over?
> Miko: Was the giant tree visible from where we entered this building?> Youmu: "And then there is another Lunarian princess. I wonder if there would be conflicting claims to Lunarian ruling status if you met her?"> Youmu: Place Miko's sword gently on the table.
> Youmu: "Actually, now that I think about it, perhaps you and this Lunarian princess are sisters? That would be a rather amusing coincidence, I think."> Youmu: While speaking, circle back around in front of Kotohime where we were previously.
> Youmu: "Okay, I think you can stop now."
> Youmu: Okay, good, she wasn't just refusing to respond.> Youmu: Nod and hold up our hands, open, in front of us. "Do you notice anything different?"
> Youmu: Frown. "If you were aware of that, why didn't you respond to any earlier question when I asked you to?"
> Youmu: "Well, I guess it wasn't a question, but I asked you to respond to the subject I was talking about, to show that you were listening instead of just silently staring at my ghost half."
> Youmu: Frown. "I believe I have found the problem, then."
> Youmu: "There is a certain word that...does something to you. It is as if you simply do not hear the context in which this word was said."
> Youmu: "I agree. But it happens, all the same. Whether you believe me or not, however, I am concerned as to what may happen if someone more malevolent discovers this about you."
> Youmu: "You were watching my ghost half and it still happened, though."
> Youmu: Shake head.> Youmu: "Everything I said was with the same tone I am using now."
> Youmu: Frown. "Why and how would I deceive you this way? Especially when such a deception could be easily revealed simply by trying to do this in front of other people, like the three people in the other room."
> Youmu: "This would be a rather inappropriate thing to joke about to this degree, I think."
