Youmu:

> "Wait, you can talk?"

Myon:

> Shrug, then adopt a thinking expression.
> Take the box out of us and set it gently on the floor.
> Gesture to Marisa, then back to ourselves, putting the hand inside our body. Tilt our head slightly with an expectant look.

> Reimu jumps.
> "Uh... Y-Yea, he can talk. Why did you come back here?" Reimu asks, clearly flustered.

> You retrieve the box and set it down, then gesture to Marisa.
> "Oh dear, I don't think that's the sort of thing you should be suggesting out in public..." Miko comments with a blush.
> "I think you've got the wrong idea." Alice speaks.
> "What? You already have the box outside of you..." Marisa thinks. "You don't, well, didn't, need our help with that."
>_

Myon:

> Could we fit Marisa fully inside us?

> ...
> She seems small enough, even without you being bigger like before.
>_

Youmu:

> Who's still present, anyway?
> Shove the box inside Myon's torso and hurry after Reimu.

Myon:

> Look down in shock at the sudden intrusion.
> Then look back at where Youmu left with an annoyed expression.

> Marisa, Miko, and Alice.
> You store the box and start after Reimu.

> "Having a giant pocket around all the time seems useful. But I guess it'd start to feel uncomfortable having stuff inside you, huh." Marisa comments.

> "Little scare or not, didn't you say you'd stay out of sight when there's visitors?" You arrive to Reimu already mid conversation.
> "My lady, isn't that a bit harsh? Even I miss my old friends." The turtle responds. It can talk...
> "I don't think any of this shrine's visitors are your friends..."
> "You'd be surprised my lady. I've made friends with strong youkai, strong phantoms, and even strong shrine maidens, even though I'm not that reliable myself anymore."
> "Don't... I-... Just quit talking already." Reimu crosses her arms.
>_

Youmu:

> "It wasn't his fault! I'm sorry! Please tell him I'm sorry!"

> You're not sure if your words got to Reimu...
>_

> "Huh. Have to admit, with how you two act around each other, I would have guessed you weren't."
> "Anyway, I've done some thinking, and I think we should speak with Lady Hachi. I don't want to fight her, so we'll want to be on our best behavior, but it's a risk worth taking."

>"I mean, well...it's complicated," Koa says. "But can you blame her? After all, you're just waiting for your next turn, too~"
>"Okay, uh, I might just sit that one out."
