Chouri steps out onto the veranda and settles down at the edge. She looked up at the roof and the soft plinking of the raindrops. "It's probably only going to get worse the next few days."

She nodded. "I see... Yes, the village is aware of the dreamstone mine. It's where we got the gifts for those who succeeded the other day. I suppose I can see how they could be used for ill, though."

She nodded. "I created a method for locking her and her 'beloved' away, as well as sealing this area away from Ningen-do, so the barrier between it and the Realm of Dreams solidifies.
