{{quote|''Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying "End-of-the-World Switch.

{{quote|'''Himeko''': ...but why would Dunbadoru-sensei have brought attention to it if he didn't want us going in?

'''Himeko''': But that just guarantees someone will go in it and find out why it's forbidden the hard way!
