First time ive read this one..
So I dont think the prank wasnt a prank like some suggest- she was alive the next day- and no way they'd say 'prank' if it was about to happen really that day or the next..  That would be too cruel.
But I DO think it had a serious side and was arranged by Remi and Sakuya - in most part, to help prepare Meiling for that future event - however far off it was.  Probably decades..
The last page tho, clearly IS after her passing and I guess Meiling has found out from the Yama Sakuya was reborn in the human world - and the current shrine maiden let her cross. I think its far enough in the future to not be Reimu since Meiling didnt name her, but instead said 'shrine maiden'.
