Once we were settled in, Yukari mustered up enough of what strength she had to say what she wanted to. She announced that we may have to split to much of Chen's inherent upset. I didn't want to split with the rest of the group either on the grounds that we had to split before and, ever since Eirin's death, I think it is best that we stay together. Of course, due to the circumstances and the fact that the stakes have gotten higher, splitting may be our only option but there is a sure good chance that we may never see each other again, actually, there is a pretty good chance that some of us may not even survive to the end of this coming spring. As for my new lover, I doubt I will ever see him again, leaving our romance abruptly ended. Although, he may have died anyhow during the winter. We were a long ways off from where we were before and there was no turning back. Eventually, we'd run out of places to run to.
In light of the fact that we had walked a great distance, I couldn't help but to worry about Yukari, after all it seemed she had pushed herself to her max and probably wasn't at all used to traveling this far and not at this altitude nor on this particular kind of path, especially on foot (she mostly gaps to hard to navigate places like these) and travelling on foot is even harder for her because of her bum leg. If they were to capture us, Yukari would once again sacrifice herself to keep us from getting caught. I can't bare that thought and the memory that surrounds it.
"Right now, I need you all to be brave and, Ran, take care of Reimu and Chen. When I gap you, I need you all to run and don't ever look or come back..."
***
Leave me please!
You must escape, you must live, as
I will hinder
This is my final sacrifice.
