Still, I press on but a blizzard hits me, making travel more difficult. I had been traveling for two hours until I was forced to take shelter, somewhere. I did, eventually, and I was quite upset at myself for doing so. Needless to say, I had ended up falling asleep and slept for more than what I needed to. I awoke and pressed on, determined to see my little human child again. I continued on, seeing our old house, the house, that, by circumstance, we had to leave. To my surprise, Eirin and Yuuka were waiting for me. Yuuka had dyed her hair a pretty greyish-blonde color and Eirin's hair was just tinted greyish. They had such somber looks. When I asked what was wrong, Yuuka explained that they had found Flandre but it was too late, she had succumbed to hypothermia. I asked them did they find the others to which they said, "No, only Flandre." I broke down in tears but I told them I had to get back to Reimu and expressed regret at leaving her, to which Yuuka responded, "Yukari, Reimu is a dear and, if she were to die now from starvation or hypothermia, she would never hold it against you, rather she will have forgiven you."
I bid them goodbye, thanking them for telling me the news, and hurrying away. However, I found myself desperately looking for the path. My journey home had yet another obstacle but I was determined to make it there by morning and no later.

After a long abscence, she was blinded
