Midnight Footnotes of the Thorn-Mage

Chise Hatori

It just... appeared in my hand after I gave it a clover.

Elias Ainsworth

A card bearing the World's Tree's sigil. Curious.

Elias Ainsworth

Shall we test its invitation, my dear apprentice?

The Librarian

Welcome back, Chise. And welcome, Thorn-Mage. State your query.

Chise Hatori

Hi, it's nice that you remember me?

The Librarian

You gave me a clover after I returned you home. Most only offer thanks.

Elias Ainsworth

We're looking for a spell to sever a bond without killing either party.

The Librarian

Romantic complications. How... original.

Chise Hatori

It's not— we just need options!

The Librarian

Third floor, left corridor, shelf seven-thousand-four. But...

The Librarian

The book will read you first. Hope it likes the ending.

Elias Ainsworth

Shall we, bride? Knowledge rarely comes without price.

Chise Hatori

What if it shows us we shouldn't—

Elias Ainsworth

Then we'll write a different story. Together or apart.

The Librarian

Return the book before the second midnight. After that, I will be forced to retrieve it.
