Um... Doctor? I... think I may know the answer to Miss Osculia's door. Or. I have an idea, anyway. And I think I... I think I also know Verita's, but. Mister Braxiatel said I shouldn't go alone, so, um...

A-Are you... busy?

[Xion shakes her head.] I believe you.

[stays on his side of the bar] I do as well, Audrey, but why stay? You're not bound to this town like we are. I mean, I'd like to know several things about this town, like how the barrier works, how buildings that are said to exist suddenly show up out of nowhere overnight, and what sort of technology has been used to cloak certain things around town like the viewfinder and telephone booth. It's far beyond the normal technological know-how of humans who live in a place that looks like this.

[softly] Thank you. Both of you.

[but she doesn't blink an eye at the mention of the viewfinder or phone booth] I'm stuck here for...slightly different reasons, but like you, my darlings, I can't leave. Not yet. I can only tell you so much about the technology used around here, like the shielding used to mask the presence of the botanical gardens and this very house are the same and the buildings were always here. You just weren't allowed to see them yet, not until it was time or Dr. Caligin gave the okay to unveil it. But that restaurant in the trees, The Chrysalis, that wasn't there before. Dr. Resarci constructed it, and I haven't been able to tell if he did so on his own or Dr. Caligin approved it.

Why are you stuck here?

[Xion thinks for a moment.] If the mayor didn't know, then... The doctor must've hidden it while it was being built, right? With the same technology, somehow?

It's complicated... Unfortunately the whole situation is, sugar pie. The Dr. Caligin believes it's one of us who is the mole, and he's allowed us to tell some truths about the project--but only if asked the right questions. Once you've heard enough, you can leave this room. I think he will want to speak with you all soon enough.

But don't get me wrong, I personally think Caligin knew about the building of the restaurant, or he was brought aboard on the idea after Dr. Resarci had started construction. He has that way about him. I mean, you saw how the Caligin reacted to Verita being turned into doll! That wasn't supposed to happen. Nothing after the festival was supposed to happen, but once Resarci really got his hooks into Caligin, he had free reign.

[... that just leaves Xion frustrated.] What does even it matter if there's a mole? We just want to go home.
