Prime:
>Is Reimu out? If not, knock politely on the shrine door.

Contingency:
>"Alright, catch you later then. Feel free to seek me out if you're up for some sisterly bonding or just want to catch up. Where are you going to be staying, anyway? Are you just going to wander Gensokyo?"
>Ponder.
>"Actually, what should we do if we needed to get into contact with one another for whatever reason?"
> You've only now reached it.
> Reimu seems to be outside. With Marisa, and the male Shingyoku.

> "Hm... How about you ask Reimu to make a very weak seal to hold some of my darkness. You still have the bit I left with you so you wouldn't just be starving and eating dirt or something. I can get my own since I still have that darkness you sent out to chase those animals. Then just tear it free. Probably something that can only be used once. ...That is if you can even tell where your own darkness is from afar."

> "Ah. Took you long enough." Marisa speaks.
> "There was no incident, so there's no need to gather at my shrine." Reimu says.
> "So, in our time dealing with the occurrence at the forest, have you dealt with the spirit invading your shrine?" Shingyoku asks. "If not, is it perhaps due to needing more help?"
> "No. I'm capable. I just haven't been bothered enough."
> "If that's so, I'll be taking my leave." The man stands up.

> You feel for your darkness. And do note that it seems to be ahead of you.
> "An alternative to needing to eat more would be to stop using more bodies. You can't expect a wonderful dessert every time you burn all of your energy following a bird or cat."

//We might need to go to the SDM or the Mountain depending on what's happening.
//Also we can probably get away with leaving a pocket/chibi Rumia behind considering we can sustain off of ambient darkness and because it won't have much upkeep because its small. Plus it would be temporary.
