> Shrug. "Makes no difference to me. You guys aren't really the reasons we came down here. We're just looking for two dollies: a cute one named Hourai, and another one with crosses on her dress."

> Koa, who is retreating into one of the aisles, goes pale.
> "Two dolls...you say?"
> The girl, who has returned to her tome, briefly glances up. "Do you possibly know Alice...? I sent the doll on her way so she could continue running errands, but..."

>"Well, it never got back. And Koa, someone matching your description was seen picking up the other doll. Do you know what happened to it?"

> "Ahhhaha..." Koa scratches the back of her head. "Iiii kinda gave it to the little sister because she wanted a companion for the other doll she had. Something to play wiiith~"

>"Sounds like I really should meet her."

> "She already had it by the time I gave her the second one..." Koa keeps glancing nervously at the girl, who has hidden herself behind her book.
> "So we just get her to give us the dolls..." Konngara sheathes her sword.

> "Well then, Koa."
> Koa's headwings flap. "Yes ma'am!" She salutes, but you can't tell if she's being mocking or not. "This way."
> She turns on her heels and starts off down one of the aisles of books. Star, who is trying to make sense of one of the books, puts it back on the shelf and follows her.

> You, Konngara, and Star follow Koa past the bookshelves. As you walk, you keep an eye on the dark section. It looks kind of like a parasite, the way it hangs around over there.
> Once you're out of the girl's hearing range, Koa turns and walks backwards while facing you.
> "You, what the hell were you doing breaking our doors, huh?"
> "What?"
> Koa waves at Konngara dismissively. "Not you."

"I dunno. What're you doing nabbing other people's dolls. Maybe I ought let Yuka know about that?"

> "You guys keep wine here?"
> "I'm not talking to you!"
> Konngara narrows her eyes at Koa.

> "A celestial? Yeah, right."
> You decide to try avoiding furthur conversation with her.
> Koa looks unsatisfied with the outcome of the conversation, but turns away and starts walking forward again.
> Star isn't paying attention at all; she keeps tilting her head so she can try reading the spines of the different books.

> The three of you continue to follow Koa past the bookcases, making several twists and turns and getting dangerously close to the darkness along the way. It's at this point that Koa hastens her pace, and soon you all are standing in front of an inconspicuous wooden door at the far end of the library.
> "This leads into another set of stairs," Koa explains as she fishes a ring of keys out of her pocket and searches for the right one. "And then there's a one way hallway leading to the little sister's room."

> "So, you guys know that you have a weird ass funnel sucking auras and stuff out of the mansion? Purple wisps, red stuff from the clocktower..."

> "Since when?" Koa holds up a brass key. "Here it is. We don't have anything like that." She unlocks the door and opens it, revealing a winding staircase. Small lanterns dot the walls.

> Koa shivers. "Ghosts?"
> You all soon find yourselves standing in front of another door. Unlike the wooden door, this one seems to be made of some sturdier material, and has a combination lock instead of a lock with a key. Koa knocks on the door and calls out.
> "Little sister? There are some people here to see youuu."
> You hear a young girl's voice answer. "Okaaay~"
