It never crossed my mind before that Sakuya would quite literally overwork the fairies to death time-out.
π€ I suppose that angle wouldn't work 'cause they can just leave if they don't like it... So maybe the fairies enjoy the work anyway? Like, it's also playing to them. I mean, for a different instance, why would they come out of the woodwork whenever Reimu sets out to solve an incident only the get killed end up in the respawn pool anyway?
