"Well, no, not a flashlight, but I do have my phone," Haruka said, taking it out. It was a simple matter of setting the brightness to max.

She swept the light across the entrance, but the beam didn't get far before landing on something interesting, painted on the wall in a red substance.

[b]If you are reading this message, then my attempt to repair the barrier has failed, and now the world is in danger.

This building contains a terrible collection, a gallery so vile and incomprehensible that should it escape it will no doubt cause widespread chaos and panic. The barrier was supposed to protect us... it was supposed to keep the spreading worlds locked up in this building to fight amongst each other. Our world is absolutely no match for their influences but they cannot triumph over one another. If the barrier is gone these worlds will leak past each other and swallow ours.

But the barrier wasn't supposed to stop working. Not now. Not for over a hundred years. There were contingency plans but they are in no way ready yet.

It is with a heavy heart that I must burden whoever find this message with the task of stopping the leakage. Now that the barrier is on its way to failure there is only one way to stop the spread. You must reach into the void... disconnect each world from its access point to our reality.

Only then will we be safe.

God bless you.[/b]
