> To Plum Flower: "I know you like Reimu, but I think she wants her leg back."
>"...Oh," she says, sighing and letting go. She then climbs up onto the porch beside the shrine maiden. After a moment, she quietly reaches out toward one of Reimu's hands and grabs onto her ring finger. Reimu sighs and pulls her hand away, dragging the faerie a short distance, and folding her hands into her lap.
>"Well, where I come from, abandoned doesn't mean 'haunted'. I was curious. I've never seen a ghost before in my life."
>"Nitori wanted one for an air conditioner she's trying to build. It was going to provide the cooling. I'd kind of thought it was a little unfair to the ghost, but Nitori evidently says they're indifferent to it."
>"Well, there you go," says Reimu. "Usually, though, ghosts aren't very dangerous unless you do something to rile them up. You didn't threaten them or anything, right?"
>"Nobody knows what ghosts think, really," says Reimu, "Except for weird people who cast spells to talk to them. Thankfully, I don't think we have any of those these days. Oh, Youmu would probably get really mad about it. I don't know what Yuyuko would think." She pauses. "They come from the netherworld sometimes. Youmu is kind of mouthy when it comes to ghosts."
