Ernesto frowns thoughtfully, just nodding at the phrase "evil barrier" like it's a normal thing to say. Considering someone on the Pleroma side is capable of making energy barriers that can lock people in or keep people out? Well, someone on team Kenoma having that capacity is just as likely.

Lucky for them that doesn't seem to be the case, huh? ]
