>Murasa nods. "That's good of her. That forest is a terrible maze, you'd be living on luck trying to find the pace otherwise. Wonder what the rabbits want with your spellcards, though? You don't think their princess is trying to get even with you for...you know, the past?"

This is certainly possible, though we could only blindly speculate what that might be, I think.

Organs. Replace everyone's kidneys with, dunno, bees, and sell them for a tidy profit. That's got to be it.

>Murasa nods.
>You find Byakuren sitting near the schoolyard, easily visible among the crowd. You expect this is intentional, she's clearly trying to be seen. People mill about, seeming to not have much better to do with themselves. You recognize a couple shopkeepers among them. The crowd's mood is still ugly, but you don't think that they're particularly willing to engage in anything more than complaining at the moment. As a whole, anyways.
>"It's good to see you again, Nue" says Byakuren as you draw close to her. "Have you found anything?"
