Just like you said, there's not even a trace of it blooming anymore.

The Fujimi girl, and the youkai who met her, huh? That story was about you, right, Yukari?

I'm surprised you were paying attention at all.

Isn't that kind of narcissistic of you, making us listen to you ramble about yourself?

What's wrong, Reimu? I would've figured you'd gone home by now.

Nothing much. I just thought you'd be here. So, what could "a certain youkai" be up to?

I'm just here to enjoy the evening breeze. Do you plan to continue the conversation?

I guess. I'm not too interested in that girl, but... You let her die right before your eyes? I guess there are some things that even your powers can't handle.

I'm far from omnipotent. I lacked the power to save a single human being.

I'm surprised you showed up at all then. You must hate the sight of this tree.

Someone else told me that when you live for long enough, it's easier to just forget things. Is that why?

That's wrong. I'll never forget anything. What I felt back then, and the memories she left behind. I'll keep them with me and move forward.

So that's how you do it?

I'm unbearably greedy, after all. I never like losing anything within my own boundaries.

I think I'm starting to understand why you're Gensokyo's administrator, and why you do all these troublesome things.

Well, I'll be going now. Sorry for bothering you.

Yes, and thank you for resolving this incident. I continue to have high expectations of you, Reimu.

...Bye.

Reimu flies off.

Perhaps she has a more sensitive side than I thought.

But those girls certainly did well. Soon, this tree will be completely bare.

...

Fujimi girl, the moment when the Saigyo Ayakashi fully blooms marks the border of the Netherworld.

Your soul is sealed in the Saigyo Ayakashi, so that you can rest peacefully in the White Jade Belvedere. This forms a barrier.

If you wish it, you can forget your endless cycle of reincarnation, and never feel pain again.

...

When we met again, it was also under this tree. You may not remember, but I'll never forget. Even when we don't get along, I swear to remain by your side.

Right, Yuyuko?
