he stops speaking, she stops typing. He goes back to reading.]
Leon “The arrow of light appeared in the past as well, as told by the words of A

fairies.”
“The light brought death to nobility. Women became royal mistresses. Me

Leon watches her but soon looks back at the book. He pauses for a
moment to look at the pictures.]Leon “And so, with that being the case, its parting was not a tragedy.”
