>You enter and head for the library. At first the hallway is surprisingly devoid of fairies, but when you reach the library entrance you see a distant fairy sweeping.
>When you enter, you see Patchouli say "Ah, you've come back. Where are the others?" She doesn't even lift her eyes from the book she's reading to look at you.

>Shiki: "It's a long story, but basically, Yuyuko and Suika are underground, Reimu's at the Moriya shrine hopefully not fighting the goddesses, and Koishi is... not accompanying me at the moment."
>"The voice that's been speaking to me wants me to stop this 'overlay' that is happening. I think this in in Gensokyo's best interest, but it also is clearly to the voice's benefit, and I do not intend to aid it. So I want to know more about this 'overlay', because the fact is that I know next to nothing about such a thing. So far, this is the only place I've found mention of an overlay, so I thought I might be able to find more information here."

>Shiki: "Koishi is in something of a bad way at the moment. I think the best thing for her right now is to be alone with her thoughts. And Yukari, it occurs to me that Reimu may well want to go for Koishi again. I would ask that you do not tell her or send her to where Koishi is."
>"On to the matter of the overlay. The voice said that it would speak to us in person if we stopped the overlay and got Koishi to forgive Utsuho. However, attempting the latter led to substantial conflict within our group, and I can't help but wonder if that was the voice's intent. It may have been particularly interested in separating Koishi from the rest of us, as we originally sought her out to protect her from it. And she has left the group. I do, however, have Yukari keeping an eye on her, and we will act in her defense if she is threatened."
>"Anyways, I would expect that the voice also stands to benefit in some way from us stopping the overlay. Since, however, I know next to nothing about it, I cannot hope to guess what this might be. Which is why I'm here."
>Pick up the book.
>"The others should be joining me here once their respective businesses are taken care of. I'm hoping in particular that Suika arrives soon. She is how we found this book; perhaps she can help us find others now that we have a better idea of what we're looking for."
>Open the book and start scanning for any mention of overlays.
