[Bitterblue looks a bit excited when the video starts. She's holding a dark, leather bound book, it's thin, but thick enough that the gold lettering on the spin can be seen.]
It worked this time. I hoped for a book from my memories and I got one.
I didn't think about this before I discovered it on my table, but of course I should have realized this: it's in a different language. I understand it because I did in my memories.
[This is where she looks really excited.]
A whole new language! See-
[She holds up the book and opens to a page. There is a hand painted picture of a castle on it with a word underneath - but not a word recognizable. She flips through other pages showing pictures with singular words underneath. All words that are not readable.]
This is much better than a dagger!

[ He scoffed, smiling a little at the absurdity of it, but... wasn't it a fascinating idea? ]
How'd that work exactly? You went to sleep thinking about it or was there was some kind of spell?
Re: Video
No, not really. It was a silly hypothesis I shared with Elliott and Lisa.
Lisa is wishing on a star to see if that will make the next item she gets. We don't really think this is how it works.

Were you wishing on a star too?
Re: Video
I was not wishing on a star.
do you want to see the book. The author and artist took great care to make it. Though it is rather unsettling in some parts.

[ He was still intrigued however. ]
Why is it unsettling? Are their pictures in there?
Re: Video
It is a picture book meant to teach children words.
It is unsettling because some of the pictures... [she flips to one- a beautiful painting of a knife with a singular word under it.]
This word- it says 'medicine'. Why would you teach a child that a knife is medicine?
And before you ask about blood letting, that is simply not how medicine works in my memories. I seem to live in a castle, but they have a rather modern understanding of medicine.
Re: Video
Could be a ceremonial knife Doctors carry around with them... if they do things like that. What do you think it means, blood sacrifice?

[ Anthony winced. ]
Can't be good. Why'd you wish for a book like that??
Strike that. Even better question, have you been able to learn anything from it?

Some of the pictures are depictions of the place I lived. There's a general map of the continent. As much as was known of it.

[ He leaned a little closer to the screen. ]
Hold it up? I'd love a glimpse of where you used to live.

See, not like Italy at all.

Most of the memories I get are hazy. Some are clear. The ones I have away from my father are the clearest. Now that I have more of them, it is easy to see that.
