"When you stand beneath the unveiled sweep of the unfurled and endless skies with its clouds and stars and planets, your sorrows seem like they are trivial and life too short.
But the longing and heartache abound when you consider: that such soulfulness fills your being because those despairs are to family living beyond these skies."

Lady Minerva's Chambers,
The Physician's Wing of the Imperial Castle,
Kingdom of Tristendyre,
The first Phrinight of the Second month,
XXI Year of Regency
A Royal Physician of much age and talent, she had not realised how lonely the room could seem when deprived of a single damsel's presence.
Lady Minerva's eyes were puffed and flooding with embers, her head hurting severely from the pain of crying and the distraught feelings of heart.
