>Speak to Yukari and ask about ways to avoid falling into a backdoor and getting taken out early.
Your first approach was to bring up a certain paranoia that'd settled in the back of your mind, and who better to talk to about it than that mysterious lady with the 'gap' things herself, who had just earlier been engaged against Okina as Doremy predicted? She was inside the Shrine, helping herself to Reimu's tea, so you waltzed in and had her attention alone by stepping up.
"Excuse me, uh... miss Yukari?"
<span class="mu-s">"Ah, the Outsider... hm hm. Yes? What brings you to me?"</span>
Man, just the way she speaks is condescending at all times. You stiffened your lips as you looked to the side at one of the shoji doors.
"So, uh... you probably know how to answer this best, besides someone like Kasen. Mm... but, couldn't, ah... Okin- Sorry, the spirit possessing her. Couldn't they just... grab me through one of those door things and just put a stop to everyone's progress? How do I avoid them...? Those door things. You said you saw some open."
<span class="mu-s">"Oooh, you're asking me for advice then? Hmhmhm! How cute~ Then I believe I'd be able to inform you that even one hundred feet away from all manner of doors or hatches, you're still in danger of a Backdoor at any time."</span>
"Wh-what...?!"
<span class="mu-s">"Oh you poor dullard. They're really called 'Backdoors' for a literal implication, Okina can create and open them up... on your back!"</span>
You stared at her for a very quiet second.
<span class="mu-s">"Yes, your back-back."</span>
"How?"
<span class="mu-s">"Hmm... Ah!"</span> She raises her finger to provide an answer; <span class="mu-s">"She just does. If she couldn't open them up on the backs of anything, then they would just be called... 'doors', wouldn't they? Or... Door-doors. No, maybe that's too ridiculous. Anywhooo~! She can connect doors to her realm, open Backdoors up on backs, and the reason I'd gander that spirit hasn't simply abducted and made short of you for your disobedience by now is simply because... it just hasn't, or doesn't want to. Why? I cannot say. Even if you were taken and horribly killed, we would still continue our efforts against it, you know this, correct?"</span>
"I'd like to think it still has some use for me we just don't know yet."
<span class="mu-s">"Hence why we have to uncover its plot. Any more questions...?"</span> She said, taking a drink.
"Are the 'Backdoors' limited to just the backs of, say, living things like you and me? Or does that definition of 'backs' stretch a little more?"
<span class="mu-s">"I guess if you were facing a tree and she created a Backdoor on the back of the tree, it would appear on the other side of the tree contrary from the one you face."</span>
"Okay. Got it. Thanks."
<span class="mu-s">"Mhm. Try not to get eaten by some Youkai before I can do it myself, dear~"</span> She says as you exit the Shrine.
You start thinking about what next to d- Wait, did she just say she was going to eat you...?
