Like watching thin glass shatter all the charades Anon partook in dropped away. He sprang up a drowning man grasps for a life preserver as his eyes widened.

His voice was no different, "Hana, Is that really you?!" He clambered off of the bed, the tray upturning as he scrambled off of the futon. Without care he knocked pillows off, futher messing up the carefully crafted illusion the room presented.

Hana felt a storm of powerful emotions, rage at Yukari, fear at the trap she was, hope at finding her father without the vile blonde bitch tormenting him, and something else clawing at the back of her mind as his robe spilled open. Surely, it was just the strange incense making her to force her eyes to his face?

Hana couldn't help it either, her eyes started watering as she rushed forward as well. Their arms wrapped around each other powerfully as if bonded together. For the first time since she could remember she saw her father crack and be anything less than her rock.


They stood there with only muffled and punctuated sobs between them until Hana's mind collected itself enough to form coherent thoughts again. Her voice found purchase as she spoke, "It's okay, I'm going to get you out of here! That psycho isn't here is she?!"

Anon seemed calmer now as he croaked out his thoughts, her father was always quick at recovering emotionally after all, "No, s-she... she leaves the operation of this place to her Shikigami. B-but more than that I thought you were dead!"

Hana must have looked confused because she didn't have to ask before an answer came. "At first Yukari liked to tease me that she got rid of you... that she sent you God-knows-where or had some youkai attack you, b-but I didn't believe her!" Anon stumbled some of words as he spewed out his story.

Still holding her with his arms around her waist he separated just enough to see her face in full as if confirming something. He continued "still I didn't believe her, it just... it wasn't until the... clients told me they haven't heard a thing about you for months that I started to believe she got rid of you after you saw her... assault me..."

Months? Clients? The assault... her face couldn't help but heat up as she remembered the heat, taste, and intensity of something that surely happened just earlier today. It was as the memories replayed in her head that she seemed to recall the state of undress she found her father in... she could barely help but resist to urge to angle her head to get closer look.

Hana brushed those thoughts aside for now as she took her father's hand and with a resounding, "come we're leaving now, I won't let anyone stop us!" she made for the door. Anon didn't say anything as he followed along, and as Hana reached for the sliding door she felt it, the same strange barrier.

"What the-" she didn't want to believe it at first as she tried the door again which wouldn't budge. She kicked it, tried punching through the paper, launched danmaku at it, but like earlier nothing seemed to even shake it in its frame.

It was then she heard her father's voice again, dark and thin, "a lot of... clients... are rather bullheaded, some try to rescue me and some try to keep me for themselves. Yukari had the foresight to keep up a barrier that would prevent me from being able to leave this room without her permission."

Hana couldn't believe this, what targeted cruelty was this?! She took her rage out on the door, striking it with her fists and gohei again till the skin of her hands cracked. Anon grabbed her to restrain her, "Hana please! I've seen it hold back Marisa's spark and stop Suika's strength! Don't hurt yourself just for me!"

Hana could feel the intense cold pit in her stomach grow, was it truly pointless? One last kick while her arms were restrained was all she had in her before Anon pulled her back, sitting her on the futon and with a rather weighty looking first aid kit he dressed the wound as Hana fell silent.

How can you not love Reimu?
She's a grumpy shrine maiden that loves money but doesn't want to work hard at all, its super cute!! She likes to maintain an air of indifference but secretly cares deeply about those she considers friends, but also gives them space and only helps them if they needs it, its super cute!
She gets along with even those mischievous fairies and doesn't mind them as long as they behave, its super cute! She can be kinda dumb sometimes and let's things fall by the wayside until they get out of hand, completely ignoring red flags, its super cute! She let's her god go completely starved for faith and doesn't realize his true nature despite having all the clues in front of her cause she doesn't care to put them together, its super cute!
Reimu needs to have her upper arms exposed at all times or she feels suffocated even in the harshest parts of winter, its super cute!
Reimu is the best, I love her!
