>"Actually... why didn't you go into Sumireko's room before ? You could have easily went inside the mansion before me or even when i went inside, then you would have been able to see what was wrong with her."

>"Well, I was merely waiting to see if the odd energy would dissipate, and apparently it did not. Besides, I can't really examine someone that's unconscious."

>The tear is already large enough to walk through, but you widen it anyway.
>However, despite your efforts, it seems to become less stable the larger you make it. It's edges are growing increasingly jagged and violent

>You shrink down the tear to its previous size, the edges become less chaotic.

>"Er, I'm sorry for stalling..."
>Walk through the tear.

>"It's fine."
>You walk through the tear. YuugenMagan's eyes float with you.

>You arrive at the old structure, but there seems to be no indication of a market place around here, just an alien landscape. The old ruined structure seems to be the only significant landmark nearby, aside from the silhouette of a large city in the distance, as well as some sort of fortress beyond that.
>The air here feels horrible as well. You feel like you'll go into a coughing fit at any second. You're not suffocating, but breathing sure feels difficult, and something in the air is stinging your lungs.
>YuugenMagan's beams cease firing, and you immediately begin to feel a massive energy drain from your large tear, as it is still open. You can only maintain it for a few more seconds...

>"Welcome to Makai."

>"Ah yes, I should've warned you about the miasma. Most of Makai's atmosphere is this stuff. It's toxic in dense concentrations, but it's also saturated in magic, which is why this dimension is so popular with magicians... Exposure to the miasma for prolonged periods has been known to assist greatly in the development of one's magic. Now, this is actually a pretty sparse concentration where we are now, believe it or not, so you should be fine. And after a minute your body will adapt to breathing it. And it should stay that way unless we move into one of those dense, toxic pockets. Though there should be none on our route."
>YuugenMagan starts to float ahead, towards an archway leading to the inside of the ruined structure, "Anyway, let's meet with my contact so we can get some money. Then we can begin the walk to the capital."

>"Well, fate can be a cruel mistress... But I refuse to believe that it's set in stone... Sure, it can be sick and twisted at times, but eventually we must learn to tame and master it..."

>The two of you enter a ruined courtyard. You also notice that it's becoming gradually easier to breathe in this atmosphere.

>"Stop." says YuugenMagan as you reach the center of the courtyard. "She should be around here somewhere. In fact, she probably already knows we're here. Keep an eye out for her."
>YuugenMagan's eyes spread out in a circle and begin sweeping their gaze over the area.

>"What's the matter, you aren't scared of a little foreigner are you?" YuugenMagan asks.
>"O-Oh, no, not at all! Heh heh..." The girl says as she steps out from behind the pillar, as she does so you notice that she has a pair of impressive purple, bat-like wings on her back, and a peculiar, red, star-shaped mark on her left cheek, "S-So... You're back..."
>"Indeed I am, but I won't be for long. I'm just here to collect some of the coins I trusted you with... Would you mind taking us to them?"
>"N-No... I don't mind..." she looks at you, "So... Who's this?"
