[After being looked after by his adult self's friends, he is feeling a little more settled but a whole lot more confused about the mesh of memories in his head.

Drawing is not confusing at all, so he has wished himself up as many different colors he can think of and is happily drawing in the library. The journal is a fantastic spot to test new colors though, so prepare to be bombarded with random splashes of color, journals.]

It's in the city of Pisa. The tower is the bell tower for the cathedral.

[antichauffeur]

A bell tower? [He frowns a little, rubbing his head as a few memories trickle in]

They are really big. Is it far away?

[triela]

From here? Yes, it's very far.

[antichauffeur]

Do you miss home?

[triela]

[thoughtfully she draws a piece of cake and some cups]

I do. Especially my friends and Hilshire.

[antichauffeur]

[He starts drawing himself and Peter, using lots of blues for their paramedic uniforms]

Do you have lots of friends? Home isn't scary. But there's magic here! I like magic.

[triela]

Yes, I do. They're all back home.

[she starts to draw a girl wearing glasses and reading a book. Her art skills aren't that great, not having any training] That's my roommate, Claes. She loves to read.

[antichauffeur]

She looks nice! [he repeats the name curiously]

I can't read. But, I'm gonna learn!

[triela]

Do you have someone to teach you?

[antichauffeur]

At home!

Reading hurts my head. I like books with pictures.

[triela]

I'm not a big expert on books but I'm sure there are some good picture books here.

[antichauffeur]

Mmhmm!

I wish they all talked like this one [points to the journal]

[triela]

That would be nice.

[antichauffeur]

Do you think the books have friends?

[triela]

They're friends with each other. That's why we can talk to each other through the books.

[antichauffeur]

Wow! The books have LOTS of friends then!

[triela]

[chuckles] They certainly do.

[antichauffeur]

[is comforted by this!]

Have you seen the ghosts here?

[triela]

Yes, I have. They're very friendly and helpful.

[antichauffeur]

They are!

I thought ghosts were meant to be scary!

[triela]

Some of them are, but not these.

[antichauffeur]

Mm!
I never seen them before at home.

[triela]

Me neither. They're unique to Paradisa.

[antichauffeur]

[quietly]

I like it here.

[triela]

So do I. But I like home more.
