As heartbreaking as this doujin is...Shanghai still manages to be adorable.

how sweet of Alice to cheer Marisa up like that... in her own way... with adorable dolls...

Ffff-.......ffffffff-............
I've been managing not to cry until now, but... but...
D-Damnit, Alice... ;_;

*pat pat*

And this is why I hate what fandom has done to Alice. She's such an awesome character when she's not not everyone's punching bag, or an obsessive, angst-ridden Marisa stalker. When she does little things like this, that prove how much she really does care about Marisa without having to get all fangirl-y about it, she really is probably my favorite of the Touhou girls. That small little gesture on her part said so much more than Alice could ever tell Marisa with mere words.

I thought she was always cold in canon. That's why she's my least favorite, along with Sakuya.
Speaking of Sakuya, I noticed that she stopped appearing in the regular games after PoFV, where she stopped being so cold to people...
