Yeah. Early on there was a meeting about the increase in the number of ropers and how they've gotten stronger. The librarian realizes that Plute is the likely cause and Pandora goes searching for her to stop her, but ends up dragged into Plute's wacky hijinks instead. These two girls are a threat to human civilization, but I doubt the author will delve too deep into that.Man I wonder if the monsters that pop out of her are extra strong (did they mention this before?)
