Where can I find this information?
I pretend I scorerun games.

It's on the Touhou wiki, in additional info.

" (It was believed that lampreys had eight eyes and are able to cure night blindness.) She uses this as part of a con-act: she will travel with her stand at night, use her power to make unwary travelers night-blind, then sell them grilled lamprey, and slowly remove the effect as they eat it, claiming that the lamprey was what cured them."

More specifically, the info is from Behemian Archive.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.

You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Thank you!
I think you are actually the first person to actually give me proper Touhou information when I ask for it!
Everyone else just get mad for some reason.

Because either:

A: Too lazy to source the info.
B: Making it up.
C: Misinformation

Whenever I try to look up the fanon version of Mima, I keep getting CSI: Miami. Damn it.
