Sylvain wrote me about fairy tales, but I thought it had the same gist. That's what I thought you meant, but I'm still uncertain about the point of it.
Yes, we were treated to the sound of their lovely voices when each entered into their agreement, and it was stated that their powers hinged on wearing their uniform.
If I were them, I'd be keen to get my hands back on mine.
There are surprise friends who aren't - [she chews on her lip, trailing off before starting again.] On some documents recently, I saw a name that was familiar. Someone who I trust.
I don't know what it means. But...say whoever this mystery person who put it in a letter that was read out publicly is, they had killed someone. The contract would require that person be safe. Which says something about the status of these special friends to me.
