Well, we were left with more toddlers but, fortunately, they retained their intelligence and their much older child mannerisms, so we pretty much treated them more or less like toddlers, except Reimu, who, despite her age-regression age before being five or six and half, was already like that from the start, in that she does put things in her mouth, regardless if she knows it is edible or not, and is even more prone to doing so, as she is near blind, so she relies on other senses to explore. Either way, need this be said, that doesn't make it right.
However, in light of the incident, she seemed to catch on that everyone else, save Sakuya (who is indifferent), Chen, myself, the littler ones and Ren, were mad at her. Usually, when awake, she is very playful and outgoing, smiling almost all of the time, but this time she didn't seem to be, rather, she wanted to be left alone or mostly restricted herself to be being near Chen. If not in the apartment, she would go about sniffing or listening, trying the find the source of an "interesting" smell or sound, doing something that didn't involve anyone else. All the same, they seemed to exclude her, too. Ren did note he is rather surprised to see that Reimu isn't resorting to hitting or biting like she normally would when frustrated or wanting attention.
On the note of the others, they very much behaved like they will have if they were older, seemingly content minus Reimu. They played together and did almost everything together, leaving me to wonder if they have somehow managed to grasp the concept of cliques. In either of the two cases, I wasn't sure if whether or not to intervene.
After some time, about 72.5 hours and eighteen minutes, Chen was fed up and caught both of their attention, saying, "Okay, so you guys awe pissed at each othew, I get that, that's coow, except I wiked it bettew when you wouwd pway togethew." She was as fed up and I was wondering on what to say or do when listening to her, though Ren advised not to intervene, stating, "Its best we let them sort it out themselves."
Naturally, they were confused and asked her to elaborate, to which she said, "You guys used to pway togethew befowe that one time and, now, you won't because of that one time. Okay, that isn't fiwst time twoubwe happened and you guys chose to dwink it youwsewves because you thought it was soda and Weimu onwy dwank it to figuwe out what it was because she can't see. I can name pwenty of times you guys did something just 'cause you wewe cuwious. Mawisa, you put something in youw nose just because you wanted to see if you couwd stiww smeww if you did, once, and we had to fawm it out Wan, and that wasn't the fiwst time, eithew, a as mattew of fact, she towd you to stop putting things in youw nose. Mawibew, I wemembew when you got into Wen's toows and busted howes in the waww. Awice, thewe was that one time at Winnosuke's whewe you wanted to see how the tewevision wowked, fwom inside to out. Wwen, thewe was that one time you thought Wan waid eggs and twied to find out exactwy whewe they came fwom. Eithew way, you did something just 'cause you wewe cuwious and decided to act on it and none of us got pissed at you fow it, though Wan was annoyed that you twied that, Wenko."
They looked at each other and asked where Reimu was, to which Chen pointed out, "Not in here, she's at Yuuka's apartment." before looking at me, saying, "She CAN open and unlock doors, you know." We went over to Yuuka's and found her contentedly laying on the floor, asleep. Of course, curiosity prompted Maribel to poke her, which ended with her being bitten. Reimu sat up, rubbed her eyes, and greeted us a with groggy, "Hello." She then lifted arms up, saying, "Up, Rannie." I complied, seeing that she was too sleepy to think of lifting herself. According to Yuuka, she had already eaten, so there was really nothing left except to put her to bed. Later on, Reimu did reconcile with the others.
"Muh?"
