Youmu's arm had finally finished being cleansed of Rhianna's flames when she found out about what was going down on the surface. She wanted to get straight in, but stopped as soon as she remembered she didn't know where Rhianna had taken Hakurou, the more important of her two swords. As much as she wanted to think it was the other way around.
As she started wondering if Rhianna was still on the ship, and therefore if it would be safe to sneak down to where she thought the armoury was, somebody knocked on the door. A conversation took place, and the following note was left on the bed:

Found it a bit worrying, what you ended up doing here. I thought it necessary to remove Youmu from the area before anything else tried to kill or corrupt her, so I asked my friend for help, and if you're reading this, then it means she provided for me.
Try not to worry too much about her. Whatever it was she returned to your world for, she probably got it done. She's like that; always focused on a single goal at once, usually my safety at the expense of everything else in my life. Or should I say, afterlife. It's likely that I've been dead longer than you've been alive.
Yukari tells me that Youmu's replacement should arrive 'shortly'. Exactly when she meant is impossible to tell with her, but I'd assume it would be during the next time you try and slow down for a minute. She's just like that.
~~Youmu's 'employer', Yuyuko
P.S. It's not impossible for Youmu to return, but I doubt she'd want to be away from me for a while, considering how long she's been separated from me and what she's done in the meantime.
