I think we are in the reality collapse event now, this time it won't be a near death experience or something dreamy, but just all background information of the past curtain will just go away. 3D reality looks the same but it's now resting on, being transformed to, NET and the newly made sunflower/touhou reality (you can see it hanging on the wall next to the temple study, free to get your own copy still). The mechanics of this reality are different than the last one, which was a degenerative, time limited creation. NET existence appears like a black knitted cloth, the sunflower existence is a woven ocher red and beige cloth with tassels on the ends. It appears, unintentionally, that the "loli shield" shared on here a few years ago actually functions as a reality also. It was meant to just protect girls or anyone innocent by adding time and space around them to wear down hostile forces. And I've seen this work, even filmed, some people also made used of it to do crazy stuff.

This was not how I intended, but it's possible to activate the protection like any Gong, and that's how they aren't getting injured here. You can see the pink energy as they land.

The most common case is however someone who was ripped away because the timelines were NPC:d and they were sent to hell, but they then appear to be wearing a knitted pink scarf (the form of the shield when cast on someone) and the demons would take them aside to wait at the top level, but "someone put their mark on them". I will then be notified they are waiting there. I wasn't aware of this, but it works like this just as how yokais maintain their own reality, this time and space shield does that, and count as them being in their own private existence where they can't be harmed.

The effect of having one of these artifacts is similar.
