Well that's concerning.

> "From there, I did manage to overcome, uh, myself somehow, but I ended up getting lost in the process of her chasing me. I wandered around semi-blindly, before eventually...hearing something through the water. Hearing, and eventually feeling, tasting, and pretty much every other sensation you can think of. My guess at this point is that I was swimming through memories everyone had of where that other me came from. It got more and more oppressive as I pushed on, eventually feeling like I was in someone else's body, even, someone a little bit shorter. Then...I'm pretty sure the Formless One latched onto me, and took over mentally."

>"Oh, so you saw that outside world place?" she says. "What was it like?"
>Then you elaborate on what followed, and she just frowns.

>"Oh, I think Yukari left her off with Meiling," Tojiko says. "Once she called us all back, we met briefly at the Scarlet Devil Mansion to rest up and figure out what we could. Then she said you were probably back, but only had a general idea where to find you. I grabbed that coat out of a closet there, I thought maybe you'd be cold? We were all kind of chilly when we came woke up."

>You remember...at one point, there was suddenly land within you. And where the land was, part of you appeared. It was then that it began. It was only a short time, then that land went back, and you back to where you belong. But...you also fell somewhere...

>You feel as though you rejoined with the rest of yourself, but...also you have not. Something is not as it should be.

>Looking through them, the strange part is that there's a kind of gap. It became aware while it and Gensokyo switched places, in a sense. Then it switched back...or...hm, no. No, now you're starting to get it. You think that this entity was separated from the water when it was switched back, the same way peoples' memories of the event were. And then there was a gap, it wasn't aware at all, dormant. You don't understand what happened there, but then something occurred, and it ended up here.

Reposting these to remind myself to mention them (especially the bold) to a party more knowledgeable than either currently-present ghost mook.
