I dunno, that sounds kind of like "Look, I'm being generous by not withholding your own research from you." If anything, that logic only makes sense from the other direction; it wouldn't have been unreasonable to not tell Patchouli about it, but not telling Alice would practically be going back on our word with her future self. She'll probably just be offended.

We probably can't directly convince Alice of Sharing Is Caring, but maybe with a slightly different approach...?

It could be pretty dangerous if Patchy finds out about future!Patchy. I imagine she wouldn't be very happy with Alice if she found out what she might do in the future.

The thing is, we already directly told Patchouli that the research was mainly about immortal doll bodies Alice intended for use on her and Marisa.

Unless she was so single-minded about wanting it that she wasn't really listening??

She'll probably just be offended.

The underlying assumption is that Sakuya has very little autonomy in the matter, which both Sakuya and Alice would be aware of. If Patchouli wanted the book to herself, she could go to Remilia and ask Remilia to order us to give the book to Patchouli, which she would very likely do given Alice isn't even the same time zone as Remilia's good graces right now.

Perhaps Alice would be offended if she completely forgot the SDM chain of command, but I can't imagine she has.

(We'll get to Meiling when we get back. It's not as though she's yet experienced the thousand-year absence, after all.)

Mmm, odds are pretty good Alice already thinks Patchouli would only be marginally helpful at best - this sort of research is far more Alice's area of expertise. I was thinking of something more blunt and ego-soothing, like thus:
