I needed to find a way to interpret the book. As I turned another page, hoping to continue my mindless survey, a delicate pressed flower fell from between the leaves of the book and landed softly on my lap.

The room, once filled with wonder, now held a quiet reverence for the complexities of the magic that entwined our fates.
