> "Byeee~" Koishi waves to you.
> You set the rabbit down a good distance from the cats. It hops into the bushes.
> You head into the Palace. There aren't a lot of animals in here, so you imagine that they're all outside right now.
> Satori is sitting on a couch, reading something. Reimu is sitting next to her, asleep. She's wearing a nightgown, and is resting her head on Satori's shoulder. You notice that Satori's third eye's veins are wrapped around her shoulders.
> "You missed quite the chase scene," Satori says without looking at you. She reaches into her dress pocket and pulls out the chain and eye.

> "And you know that I already know about it. So, what happened to Sanae and Kogasa?"

> That's really cute...
> "Yes. I read it from Konngara's mind as she was heading for the reactor tunnel. She left for the city after telling me of Okuu's situation above ground, and then started chasing the wind priestess immediately after. Needless to say, it was definitely pre-meditated; she just used the situation to lure an interesting human to a place where she could chase her freely." Satori turns a page in her book. "It was something you had to have been there for to appreciate. She got the wind priestess intoxicated and took her back to her shrine, which she then fixed up enough so that it was livable. The karakasa wouldn't leave Sanae's side, obviously..." Satori waves her hand dismissively. "Then she spent the better part of an hour running around the city making sure no one would touch her. I suppose Sanae is there because it's a shrine. Konngara's motives were surprisingly simple for something that well thought out."

> You motion for Satori to toss you the eye and chain. You don't want Reimu to get hurt.
> Satori sets her book down, throws you the eye and chain, and returns to her book.
> The chain coils around your wrist, but relaxes once it has stopped swinging.

>Thinking on it, what do we know about oni and their hyuman kidnappings?

> Oni usually kidnap humans for non-malicious reasons, usually for fun or because they've taken a liking to them. You hear it caused a lot of problems before the oni retreated to the Former Hell, probably because the oni were stubborn about letting go the humans they kidnapped...among other reasons, but that's a different story altogether. Human/oni relations are kind of complicated, apparently.

> You decide to attach the chains together, but before you do it, you let the chain know what will happen if it tries to do anything funny. All of the eyes quiver.
> You let it sink in, then attach the chains.
> When you attach the chains, it actually starts to float. The four chains stretch out like some incomplete starfish, and the eyes start to move in the same direction at once. Electricity courses through it, and although it doesn't shock anyone, you stand back anyway. You think you see the electricity forming some sort of shape, but you can't tell what it is.
> Satori's third eye twitches as it stares down the chains.
> "...It sounds scared," Satori says after a moment.
