That's almost the exact opposite of how it works at home. There aren't many that can use it, and we have to fight once before the power truly awakens, but when it does, it's like a presence that's always there. I know that this might not be my 'real' power, but I can still feel Konohana-Sakuya. That connection's as natural as breathing.

[Yukiko's just as concerned, and she shakes her head.]

I honestly don't know. I've accepted that part of me where she's from, and I don't think it will change anything. There's no way for me to know for sure until I get the new collar fluid, though.

If I have to fight her, I will. It won't be the first time. I know what to do, but I might need backup.
