[He was with standing close by after humoring the drone to be the good father he tried to be, but he too noticed the eye that made Koishi and her sister different. Once the droned daughter had left, he made his way to find Satori and Utsuho-- and was only able to find one of them after hearing those quiet words.]
He lowered his head and closed his eyes for a moment when he took in a deep breath.]
[He'll reach out to pat her head and lower himself to eye-to-eye level with her.]
You may think so, but I can see you are trying so hard. You're trying to not let the pain and the loss get to you, which makes you strong. This isn't easy, I know this. But it's not wrong to feel like the way you are now either... but we must keep our heads still high and face whatever comes next at us.
Satori, can you honestly tell me this is what your sister would have wanted if she were to see you like this? You and your sister are good people. Strong people. I can just see it with your heart on how you are acting right now that I am not wrong. If you honestly felt nothing, then I would be worried-- but you must keep going on for Koishi's sake. Maybe she will return again or you will return to her... whichever comes first would be the same end result: you two will eventually be reunited again. You must be strong until then... can you do this?
[The words are bitter, and Satori spits them like poison. She squeezes her eyes shut, holding back a fresh wave of tears, and then continues:]
...You're right, of course, but this is too much. Before, it was different. I knew Koishi wasn't here. I knew she was...somewhere in Gensokyo. Somewhere familiar and somewhere she could explore and enjoy herself.
But now I don't know. I don't know if this is her or if it's just an empty shell. I don't know if I'll ever see my sister again. You can say we'll be reunited, but do you really know that for certain? Of course not. There's no way of knowing.
I want to be strong for her, but I can't. I'm a failure as a sister once again.
....yeah, there are stirrings of those bitter, burning feelings. There always are, because they've lived in Parsee's heart for centuries already. But at this moment they're just embers now- no fire, sick and hot and self-loathing. Parsee's not happy about this, either.
Not that she can admit it. Not that it would do Satori any good. It's more comfortable this way, isn't it?]
No duh, Komeiji. Your bird thing still around, at least?

...Or maybe I don't have them to begin with. I don't know.

[For once, she doesn't have the strength to argue.]
