>"First, would you happen to have or know of any literature on the creation of the Great Hakurei Barrier?"
>"Precisely. But we need all we can get. We're working to fix the hole in it, and we're going to try to modify that ritual to do it."
>"Then I'd like to ask you to come personally. I'm sure your talents and experience would give us quite a boost."
>"A whole lot of things. It's a number of rituals that are rolled together. And I'm not sure how we'll be altering them yet, right now I'm just gathering up people and materials."
>"Yeah. I want as many people as I can get there, so we can spread out the workload. Would you join us?"
>"Thank you. I always had something personal I wanted to ask you."
>"Did you know about what Yukari did to me, practically my whole life?"
>"So, you're saying she never went into details?"
>"Yep. She stole my past and my family."
>"I expect it's not the first time."
>"Indeed. I was just wondering if this were unusual, or if she makes a habit of playing with peoples lives for laughs and driving their families to suicide."
>"Oh, I have no doubt the last bit wasn't according to plan at all. It's just a result of the plan."
>"Well, I've recently learned quite a bit about my mother, and foster mother. Well, it's more correct to say everything I learned about them I learned recently, as Yukari stole the memory of them from me."
>"Not much I can do right now. I'm just curious how well know it was."
>"Related to that, you wouldn't have happened to have had a Tamiko Hakurei pass through here, would you?"
