I swear to God Purvis if that sword says something like "Reebok" or "Wilson" we are going to have a serious issue.

Sounds like something I'd do Kilga! Which probably doesn't bode well for this

I might as well tell you, though, since you're one of the few that doesn't have their head up their ass about everything and is actually trying to think things through and get to the bottom of the problem. My cards were nicked at some point while I was sleeping. As far as I can tell, it happened around the same time that the money problem occurred. Might be related, might not. Regardless, I have it on good authority that that rabbit got into my pub by claiming to be my friend. I don't know too many rabbits, and I'm pretty sure I don't call any of them 'friend', so yeah, I'll be paying them a visit right after sunset. Is there a way to get in contact with you in case I find something there, a way easier than waiting several hours for a tengu patrol officer to get break time?"

I think I'm set with Sanae, but I'll eave it here for a little while in case other people want to ask her things.

>"well, there's Minoriko and Shizuha," says Sanae, "They live further down the mountain. Some people think Hina is one, but I'm not sure about it. Um...I'm pretty sure there are others out there, but they tend not to show their faces. I don't think any of them would have the power to do this, even if they destroyed themselves.
