Pretty much what I have imagined too, though I would have guessed the Ko run off somewhere, maybe to bother/beg the humans for some icecream but got instead these wooden icecream sticks shoved youknowwhere.
Maricha begs to Reimu that the stick should be removed, but Reimu beiing now 1000% done with the Ko, instead killed it and took it easy in the shade
*did I really butcher the english language just for that?*
