Myon:

> Do we have a phantom ribbon on our phantom wrist?

> You make sure you don't have one on your phantom half. Good.
> You do worry about what this will do to you... will you start attacking people out of nowhere? Will your hand move on its own?
> ... Nothing bad seems to be happening yet, at least.
> "So it's magic, or cursed, for sure." Marisa says.
> "Do you feel anything?" Alice asks.
> "Hm... what's all this about a ribbon, again?" Aya questions. "It looks like another devious thing that amanajaku would have in her repitore.
> Aside from Yuyuko and Yukari, now chatting about your cooking skills compared to Ran's and Chen's, everyone else pauses in consideration.
> "Wait, did I hit the spot? Ah, I accidentally solved it too quick, huh~☆" Aya gives a pseudo sigh.
> "No one ever figured out where she got those from though, right?" Marisa questions. "And they were usually sorta related to how they look. This one just looks like a miscolored ribbon. It could be something of Hina's for all we know..."
> "I'd say we could just ask Seija, but..." Miko looks aside.

> Well, it feels like your wrist, but that's probably because of the ribbon itself...
> Unlike the other recent times, you don't feel anything off about your swords this time, either.
> "Let's put her on the bottom of the list for now." Miko says. "The sooner she gets wind of this, the more we'll have to deal with her, regardless of if she's the culprit or not."

> "Why don't we take it to Kourindou and find out more about it?" Marisa suggests.

> You turn your attention back to your mistress, who appears to be enjoying a snack with Yukari... Though, at least unlike other times, you do get her attention.
> "Hm? Why would I oppose you going around with a ribbon?" She questions. "Unless you mean to ask about isolating yourself, which I feel wouldn't do you much good."
> It's... hard to imagine, given Yuyuko is just a spirit herself... Though maybe that would make such a combination easier since that just skips a step.

> "Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think I've come to an understanding." Satori seems to address you. "Orin is capable of controlling spirits to an extent, which that spirit thing may line up with her being unable to control her form and change back from a cat."
> "And given miss Konpaku can't control spirits in the same way, thus nothing involving any spirits is happening." Miko adds.
> "This ribbon might be making it's wearer lose control of their actions?" Alice questions.
> "Well, I don't recall her being anything special. Just a swordsman and also having a ghost half, really." Marisa comments.
> "So the least troublesome outcome out of all of us here has already been achieved." Satori states.
> You feel like that was an insult...
> "If that's true, shouldn't something happen to her phantom, or something change with her swordsmanship?" Aya asks.
