Step 1 of Mission Balloon: Go find a balloon.

Renée had to find a yellow balloon and manage to arrange the note the way it was earlier.

The closest store where could buy a balloon in her town was the La Poterie Provencale. But, the employee of the said shop, Marcus was an acquaintance of hers, he worked there part time. It was the only option, she couldn't go any further into the town to the other shops, as anyone spotting her would result in a huge disaster. She had to the take risk, as her actions had consequences.
