[Have you ever seen someone call up the vine, only to look so indecisive about actually bothering? You may right now, as Alice Margatroid is just tossing around the idea of 'is this worth the effort and what it may bring'. In the end, after... being reassured by her dolls she goes with it.]

Right, now then...

Greetings. From what I know, a few weeks ago, there was another bout of people being stuck together and being unable to separate, although with no visual culprit. While I do not know how many people were caught in this, I can only assume a number of you were.

I would like to know something about this time. Namely, what exactly was the cause for your release? Unlike previous cases, this may not obvious, so I would at the very least, like to know what you may have learned from it.

Because I have absolutely no idea how I got out of mine and I wanted to know if anyone else had a clue.

So, what happened?

*Video*

[nekomikoreimu]

Well, trying to walk away didn't help at all.

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

Oh, I know that much.

*Video*

[nekomikoreimu]

After that, we talked, had tea, and just waited.

Hmm, it seemed to disappear after we finished tea and biscuits. After we talked about some... stuff.

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

So far, it just seems like a certain amount of time has to pass before it let up.

*Video*

[nekomikoreimu]

*Looks away*

... Yeah, lets go with that.

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

... Someone is acting odd today.

*Video*

[nekomikoreimu]

... Why do you say that?

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

It just seems like you want to avoid this topic entirely.

*Video*

[nekomikoreimu]

Maybe because it's an annoying topic.

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

Maybe it's because you're trying to hide something that happened.

... Did you get stuck with someone who tried to ram their tongue down your mouth too?

*Video*

[nekomikoreimu]

What!? No! We just got drunk and -

*Reimu quickly stops talking*

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

... And? You lost your train of thought?

*Video*

[nekomikoreimu]

*looks away, pretending Alice isn't there.*

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

... Reimu? Are you okay?

*Video*

[nekomikoreimu]

*Reimu sighed*

I think I know what may have broken the spell...

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

Are you willing to share?

[And I do believe you forgot to hit up the activity check...]

*Video* Ya... I noticed, haha. Checked in though now

[nekomikoreimu]

I guess I don't have much of a choice.

*Reimu took a breath*

Katina and I got drunk, and... we talked about our feelings...

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

...

Okay, first of all... what's so wrong with that? Isn't that normal human behavior?

*Video*

[nekomikoreimu]

*Reimu just stares back*

I don't admit my feelings... to anyone.

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

I think this is a sign. You should stop drinking.

*Video*

[nekomikoreimu]

I don't drink that much.

*except when Suika's around reimu... or Yukari... or anyone...*

Besides, that's not the point here.

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

Yes. The point is you have feelings you didn't want to tell, yet did.

Now come on, we've been long time friends, don't you feel like you can tell me?

*Video*

[nekomikoreimu]

... The only one I have been somewhat open to is Marisa... I suppose I have known you long enough that I could...

*she shakes her head.*

No. talking about my feelings hasn't helped me solve incidents in the past, why should I start now?

*Stubborn Reimu is stubborn*

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

Well, you gave me the best answer I've gotten today about what could be the solution to this, so in a sense, you did solve it by talking about yourself.

Besides, it's best to be prepared for any situation. If you are only suited for one thing, you would crumble if another was presented.
