I finally made it. There weren't many guard rabbits out tonight... But if they don't know I'm coming, that's fine by me. Time to break in.

Mokou, wait!

...So you followed me after all, Keine.

I'm sorry, but it's just too reckless of you to take on an incident like this all by yourself. I'm sure Reimu and the others have already moved out, so let's join up with them.

...If I wanted to just resolve the incident, then yeah, that'd be the best plan. But I'm here to settle things with HER. And no one's taking that away from me.

...So this really was about her all along.

This is the first time she's done something this flashy, ever since I met her again all those centuries ago. I bet it's all one of her "flawless strategies."

Isn't that all the more reason not to challenge her by yourself?

This is my best chance to beat her and settle things once and for all.

Please think this through again! I know you've been changing, little by little, after you met everyone else last year.

You think so?

Yes, you have! That's why, from now on, we can-

You're wrong. Time's stopped for me. It's been stopped ever since I became immortal.

For the first three hundred years, I would cozy up with humans only to be rejected. Again and again.

For the next three hundred, I hated this world, and took my anger out on anyone who crossed my path. Anyone.

And for the next three hundred, I lost all motivation and wasted the days away in apathy.

Mokou...

And then, finally, during the next three hundred, I met her. The old enemy I was supposed to hate, someone I could keep killing... My only reason to live.

...Are you saying that your reason to live is to kill and be killed by her?

Yup. It's the only way I can feel alive. For just a moment, I can shine. My life has a different weight from yours, Keine. Did you seriously think I could just live together with you? After all I've been through?

There's a slight pun here: Kaguya's name literally translates to Shining Night.

...

Sorry, Keine. The guards'll be here soon. I gotta go. Tell Reimu I went to resolve the incident.

...I understand. If you're willing to go that far, I won't try to stop you. Just settle things with her, and make sure you come back safely.

That's the plan!

Mokou sprints off.

...You're so stubborn, Mokou.

But if you're going to be like that, then I...!

You stopped playing? Thanks for the hard work.

...Huh, you didn't expect the Lady Yasaka you've heard so much about would be a cute little girl like me?

Bzzzt, bzzzt! I'm Suwako, Suwako Moriya! That other lady would be stuck up a creek without me though.

If you make that mistake again, I'll curse you okay? See ya.
