> You and Koakuma turn your heads to look over at the front desk. Patchouli is leaning over to pick a book up off the floor.

> You approach Patchouli and hand her the flowchart. She takes a look at it and frowns deeply.
> "These are different plants...stones, gems, parts of living things, all found in nature. A lot of these things are difficult to find. For example, some of these stones may only be found deep under the earth," Patchouli wheezes. "And some flowers only bloom during certain times of the day. What are you planning?"

> You gather Alice and Patchouli into a huddle, and explain what you're planning to do. After you finish speaking, they step back with expressions of shock.
> "That spell is extremely dangerous," Patchouli warns you. "I've read about it."

> Alice's eyes are wide. "A-an entirely different barrier?"

> "How much time do you think we..." Patchouli trails off. She looks over at Koakuma. "Koa, go outside and check the Boundary!"
> "Whuh--" Koakuma splutters.
> "The hole in the sky. Tell me how big it's gotten," Patchouli says.
> "Yes, ma'am," says Koakuma, and flies off.
> "Neither of us were around for when the Boundary originally went up though, right? How are we going to know what to do?" you hear Alice whisper to Patchouli.
