Hakuzo vanishes without any more insight on the missing Summoner, but there's only so much you can do with a demon.
"There had been a whispering, you see.Like static, the kinds that creep into your earsand settle in the back of your head.Until they came, and I saw..."—Forgotten note

*Giselle hurriedly slams her book shut and throws a furtive glance around the empty Inquiry while the fox demon looks on, dazed.
 	
*Hakuzo: Give a guest a seat, will you?
 	
*Giselle: S...Sure. Just take that chair ov—
 	
*Giselle: Hang on. No! Why are you here?
*Giselle: Why didn't I get warped there instead?
*Giselle: Wait, where's ?
 	
*Hakuzo: Your RITUAL, damn you!
*Hakuzo: You dragged me into YOUR world!
*Hakuzo: Blast, what have I done to deserve this?!
 	
*Giselle: Oh!
*Giselle: (So THAT'S what happened.)
*Giselle: (Making a note of that...little trick for posterity.)
 	
*Hakuzo: Listen, you. I know what you are, so I won't deign to play games with you.
*Hakuzo: Spit out your questions so I can leave.
 	
*Giselle: Right.
*Giselle: What happened to ?
*Giselle: Shouldn't they be with you? Didn't you make a pact?
 	
*Hakuzo: ...As you can plainly see, your stalwart Summoner friend is nowhere to be found.
*Hakuzo: Of their hasty departure I have no clue. Do you think me a caretaker of children?
 	
*Hakuzo: 'Twas not my doing, I assure you. Nothing good comes out of a broken pact, as you are well aware.
*Hakuzo: I wouldn't *dare* be so foolish as to tarnish my own reputation.
 	
*Giselle: Could it be...the Queen?
*Giselle: But interrupting this sort of planar travel outside of her sphere... Unheard of.
*Giselle: Don't tell me she's BLOCKING access to that place now...
 	
*Hakuzo: Now see here. I really don't have a clue.
*Hakuzo: All I know is that I was made to play escort for a while. Nothing more.
*Hakuzo: Whatever it has to do with this Queen you and seem so obsessed with... I'm not interested.
*Hakuzo: If you'll excuse me I should like to get back to my business.
*Hakuzo: You don't seem like you have any need of assistance, at any rate.
*Hakuzo: Doubtless I would simply get in your way, miss.
 	
*Giselle: What do you mean?
 	
*Hakuzo: A word of advice from one dimensional traveler to another, miss.
 	
*Hakuzo stands and tips his hat, his emerald eyes gleaming beneath the brim.
*Hakuzo: Prey seldom wait if they know they are being watched.
*Hakuzo: Goodbye now.
 	
*Giselle glares after the fox-demon as he grins and vanishes into thin air,
 	
*and this time, the emerald crystal finally cracks and breaks, losing its innate glow.
 	
*Giselle: Well, that was...something.
*Giselle: Calm down, Giselle. Think!
*Giselle: There's only one other way to enter that space.
*Giselle: And now that isn't here...
*Giselle: It's going to take a bit of careful maneuvering.

*—Noel's laboratory
 	
*Noel: I was just wondering where you'd gone off to.
*Noel: There's still a lot of data to go through, you know.
 	
*Giselle: Oh, well, isn't that always the case.
*Giselle: Anywhere I can jump in?
 	
*Noel: We're swimming in paperwork.
*Noel: Here, pick a pile and get started.
*Noel: I need to step out for a bit and get the archives sorted out, so just keep an eye on things.
 	
*Giselle: Oh! ...Of course.
 	
*Giselle: No more coffee, all right?
 	
*Noel's Voice: None of your business what I drink!
*Giselle watches as Noel all but stomps out of the room, leaving her with only the familiar ambient buzzing.
 	
*Giselle: What luck!
*Giselle: All right, let's make this quick.
*Giselle: The passcode for starting this up should be...
 	
**Beep...*
*[ Access Granted. Standing by. ]
*Giselle slides into the padded seat and slips the device over her head with trembling fingers.
 	
*Giselle: It worked!
 	
*Giselle: If my hypothesis is correct, entering through this method should draw its attention right away...
 	
*Giselle: (Let's hope Kranus doesn't react with hostility, though.)
 	
*[ Processing 93.7%... ]
 	
*Giselle: (Deep breath, Giselle.)
*Giselle: (Everything's going to be all right...)
