coming above deck, i spy our mansion in the distance. the journey has taken such a long time (how long has it been? a month? a year?) and i eagerly await the smile of my dear clara. when we dock, however, she is nowhere to be found. father is there, and hands me one of those candies of his. i pop it in my mouth and father is telling me about all the wonderful treasures i found, including a golden ring he pulls from my finger. how amazing that i found treasure in my size. i must be a great explorer, as father says. i wonder if a woman would like an explorer like me. dinner tastes nostalgic and reminds me of fresh linens for some reason.

we walk, single file, down the stone corridor. i briefly turn my eyes upward in an unguarded moment, catching a glimpse of all that ever was and will be in the hearts of men. my head begins to seize until a strong, gnarled hand places itself over my eyes, shielding me from the forbidden knowledge. i feel another hand slip a candy into my mouth, and smell grandfather's aftershave. these robes are comfy! i wonder where we are going.
