>"Ah! Would you like some tea while we discuss this?"
>Do we know anyone knowledgeable about thoughts and memories?

[Hello Purvis]

>"Ah! Would you like some tea while we discuss this?"
>Do we know anyone knowledgeable about thoughts and memories?

>"Oh, don't run off Youmu," says Yuyuko.
>You don't believe so. You'd imagine a satori would be best.

[Yaersulf]

>"Hmm, maybe Koishi's sister would have some idea of what to do."

[Kilgamayan]

> Look at Koishi's third eye.
> "Or, well, if closing that eye started all of these problems, I can think of one logical solution."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hmm, maybe Koishi's sister would have some idea of what to do."

>"I dunno," says Utsuho. "This feels a bit far out of her league."

> Look at Koishi's third eye.
> "Or, well, if closing that eye started all of these problems, I can think of one logical solution."

>"It doesn't open anymore," says Koishi.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Frown.
>"Well that's definitely not a good sign."

[Kilgamayan]

> "You have tried, then?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Frown.
>"Well that's definitely not a good sign."

>"It's fine," she says. "I don't want it to open."

> "You have tried, then?"

>"Have you tried to pull your nose off?" says Koishi. "You don't need to try to know it won't come off."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "So...we need someone better at dealing with thoughts than a satori. Does such a person even exist?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "So...we need someone better at dealing with thoughts than a satori. Does such a person even exist?"

>"I shouldn't hope so," says Yuyuko.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown.
> "That doesn't really leave us with many options, then, does it?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown.
> "That doesn't really leave us with many options, then, does it?"

>"Do we need that many?" says Yuyuko.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well, we only need one feasible one, I guess."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Well, we only need one feasible one, I guess."

>"Precisely!" says Yuyuko. "Why, just because you've dug yourself into this hole, dear, doesn't mean that you can't dig yourself out."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Deep breath.
> "Okay. If we disregard everything that won't work, we'll only be left with what could, right?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Deep breath.
> "Okay. If we disregard everything that won't work, we'll only be left with what could, right?"

>"That's basic logic," says Yuyuko with a nod. "But don't you think the answer is rather obvious?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I guess maybe Koishi could undo a lot of it. But that would require knowing exactly what else was done, as well as know how to reverse it, or if it's even possible."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I guess maybe Koishi could undo a lot of it. But that would require knowing exactly what else was done, as well as know how to reverse it, or if it's even possible."

>"She'll have to rebuild herself, it seems" says Yuyuko. Then she looks to Koishi and smiles. "Ah, but you don't feel discouraged, do you?"
>"Mmm," says Koishi. "Maybe not."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "And how will that work? Just by doing stuff with people around?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "And how will that work? Just by doing stuff with people around?"

>"I could only imagine," says Yuyuko.
>"Well, you spend a lot of your time going around unseen, right?" says Utsuho. "Maybe...you could do that less."
>You swear you nearly see Koishi's smile waiver. "I don't want people to hate me more, though."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well, there's us here, at least. No one here hates you."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Well, there's us here, at least. No one here hates you."

>"That's not true," says Koishi.
>"Well, maybe if you don't wander around so much at random..." says Utsuho. "I mean...I know at least one place where you'll be accepted, no matter what."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look to Utsuho.
> "With all due respect, I'm not sure now is the time to encourage that again."

[Hello Purvis]

> Look to Utsuho.
> "With all due respect, I'm not sure now is the time to encourage that again."

>"Yeah, give her some time," says Parsee.
>"Sorry," says Utsuho, grimacing and drawing her wings a bit closer.
>"Thanks," says Koishi, glancing toward you.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod to Koishi.
> "You're welcome. The question does still remain, though, of what you would like to do. We can fire off ideas, but ultimately the decision is yours."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod to Koishi.
> "You're welcome. The question does still remain, though, of what you would like to do. We can fire off ideas, but ultimately the decision is yours."

>"I'll have to think about it," she says. "It's...going to be interesting."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I understand. This is...well, it's a really big thing to digest."
> Frown.
> "How are you feeling, anyway? You've kind of had to deal with a lot in the past couple of hours."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I understand. This is...well, it's a really big thing to digest."
> Frown.
> "How are you feeling, anyway? You've kind of had to deal with a lot in the past couple of hours."

>"I...feel fine, I suppose. Scared?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Being scared is certainly understandable. Just remember that now that we know what's going on, we can work to stop it."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "Being scared is certainly understandable. Just remember that now that we know what's going on, we can work to stop it."

>She nods.
>"How about we work to stop it over that breakfast you promised?" says Parsee.
