Happy NY. I'm Koishi Komeiji, the white brain cell. Picture time. Line up. Hurry up. Silence.
Introduction
Happy NY. New Year's greeting, done. Not good enough? Why not? Fine, I get it. Happy New Year from me, Koishi Komeiji, the white brain cell! It's New Year's―let's have some fun. C'mon, smile, smile. That includes you, Miss Plushy. OK, now stay still for 10 minutes. Daguerreotype photography takes time. Don't move. Not even an inch. Hey, invisible Miss Little Sister, get in there too! This is a family photo. ...And now, to kill some time, I'll tell you about memory excavation interworld leaps. Heh.
Purple Heart
Psst, we're excavating the Ruins of Memory using the multi-dimensional neural network.
Blue Heart
I don't really understand the details. It's all unconscious. Un-con-scious.
Green Heart
Time's arrow flies from past to future. But that's just because the world we're seeing is too narrow. Get it so far? I'm totally lost already.
Orange Heart
If you flip through a stack of photos, it becomes a movie, right? You're moving along the time axis and watching a scene unfold. But in reality, every frame exists at once. Apparently, that's how the universe works.
Pink Heart
In the sky, reflected light piles up. In the earth, layers of sediment pile up. What exists in the sky exists in the earth, and what exists in the earth exists in the sky. Memory excavator interworld travelers excavate those layers, embarking on a journey through the memories of the universe. Makes no sense, right?
Winter
Another Satori's original little sister looks cold. But if she's unconscious of it, maybe she doesn't―never mind. Come warm up with me.

This isn't a daguerreotype camera? Tch, you got me. Truth is, it takes pictures instantly. I've also got tons of hidden mini cameras. Technology these days is wild!
Enhancement
My New Year's power powered up. It's photo time. Heh!
Return
New additions for my Satori collection. This is great.
Home 1
I wanted to admire Another Satori's face as long as possible, so I told her I was taking a daguerreotype. She won't mind, right?
Home 2
Orin and Okuu caught on right away. But I totally fooled Satori! Unlimited Satori photoshoot, heh heh heh.
Home 3
To think I'd get the chance to enjoy New Year's again. I'm so lucky. My investigation is important, but so is going home. I have three homes. My original world, the interworld travelers' spacetime, and by Another Satori's side.
Reaction 1
I have three big sisters. Figure out who they are yourself.
Reaction 2
The more big sisters, the better.
Reaction 3
Do you have a big sister? ...Oh, she fell asleep on my lap. Sleeping through New Year's, huh? *pats head*
Task
Tasks, huh? Another Satori can't handle them, so let's make my friends do them.
Task Complete
You finished your task. Well done. Let's take a New Year's photo to celebrate. *snap*
Mail
Oh, a New Year's greeting card. There's one for you, too. Here.
Errand Finished
Someone's back. I'll try real hard to help them notice you.
Start of Battle
Happy NY, Another Satori's Koishi, aka Original Little Sister.
Mid-Wave
Let's find a way to get Another Satori to notice you.
Victory
Sorry, Another Satori. You stood still the whole time, but I couldn't get any good photos.
Defeat
I wish I took more photos of Another Satori.

Character Information
Temperament: Halley's Hollow Earth
Halley's Hollow Earth (a Touhou LW original) refers to the theory proposed by Edmond Halley in the late 17th century. This is an apt temperament for Koishi, the white brain cell, from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations.
She has retained the same temperament. (Strong against Sun Essence and Moon Essence, weak to Fire Phase.)
Ability/Backstory: Capable of manipulating the unconscious mind? (Celebration)
The ability of Koishi Komeiji, the white brain cell, from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). Her ability doesn't seem all that different from the F1 Universe Koishi's. This world sure gets a lot of parallel-world visitors...
A parallel world investigation order came down from Yukari Yakumo. The mission was to survey a world that had been swept up in non-stop New Year's cheer. But this Koishi was given a different directive: to visit home for a change.
"Strange. I thought this world, where all the interworld travelers gather, was my home. Then again, if we're talking about the place I spent the most time, then home would be the ancient Earth's core. Or does the world where I was born count as home? The world where I began my journey as an interworld traveler. Haha, just kidding. I know exactly which world you're talking about."
They may call Koishi "the white brain cell," but she probably doesn't have a spoonful of actual brain matter. Most likely, no youkai have brains. Or if they do, they don't use them to do their thinking. So how do they behave intelligently? Because their entire body acts as their brain. From the human scientific perspective, the total function of the brainstem and nervous system is referred to as the mind. This means that youkai, as spiritual lifeforms, could be considered beings made entirely of brain matter. (There are animals in the human world said to be like that, after all.)
Temperament is not merely some fantasy concept. It's a high-order particle with a variety of characteristics. If a single particle of temperament can house a memory or ability, then it stands to reason that a youkai's self can be defined at the particle level. (The people of Hourai may be the ultimate example of this.) But if that's the case, then what is a self that exists as a cluster of temperament? This gives rise to problems regarding self-identity.
Are your limbs you? Is your clothing you? Why, in the first place, is the self linked to the size of your body? Why can't it be said to reside in the temperament particles that make up your body, or in all the temperament particles composing the galaxy? For humans, these are profoundly difficult questions. But for youkai, perhaps the act of asking them seems nonsensical. It's possible that youkai can adjust the size of their own self―Suika Ibuki being a prime example of this. Or maybe their self takes different sizes simultaneously.
They say if you dissect a planarian flatworm, each piece retains all of its abilities and experiences, serving as proof that the soul can be divided. (Suika and youkai multiplying Spell Cards follow this logic.) If souls can be divided, surely that means they can be merged. Your heart is you. A single cell is you. The clothes you wear are you. The house you live in is you. Even a little rock sitting on the side of the road could be you.
The ability of Koishi, the white brain cell, is certainly useful when it comes to interworld travel. Any Koishi, no matter where you bump into them, is naturally suited to leaping between worlds.
"Feels just like home," said Koishi, resting in the Palace of the Earth Spirits of a distant world. She laid out the photos she'd taken atop the carpet. Then, the others helped her file them into an album as they chatted away happily. How she wished she could stay forever. Suddenly, she heard a whisper.
"You're free to stay as long as you like."
She turned to Satori, but her lips were pressed shut. A glint in her eye, she scanned the floor for the next photo to add to the album. Maybe Koishi had imagined the whisper...

"Satori, Orin, and Okuu... All I want is to have fun with them, even if it's just for a little while. That's exactly what I'm doing, but something feels off. It's like there's someone else with us―someone in the photos that we can't see."

First Dream Sign: Ancestors are Smiling at You
A Spell Card of Koishi Komeiji, the white brain cell, from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). As the year begins, her thoughts turn to her family.
A great many coincidences led Koishi (F1) to realize that the presence she felt was that of the original Koishi (S5). However, the fact that she too governs the unconscious played a key role. Regardless, the original Koishi was back. She'd never been back before. Or perhaps she had, and she'd simply gone unnoticed.
"It probably won't be long till Satori, Orin, and Okuu notice her. I'm happy for them. But now I know I can't stay here. It's like the universe is telling me to set off on my journey."

Broken Family's White Album
The Last Word of Koishi Komeiji, the white brain cell, from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). A small stone grows into a boulder in this attack and barrels toward the big incident.
"Yukari wants me to make a memory excavation interworld leap? Why can't she just stay out of this?! Throwing in an extra mission like that... Now all my plans are out the window! They were unconscious plans. But still.
Thanks to her, Satori, Orin, and Okuu have ended up as interworld travel trainees. Mind you, it's strictly unofficial. They're basically operating separately from us professional interworld travelers. But I heard there's a solid chance of joint missions or rendezvous down the line. I suppose that wouldn't be so bad. In a way, it's good news. Good news at New Year's―how fitting. I wonder if the other Koishi will be with them..."
