Yes. No one in our country lives longer than twenty-three years, so it's... possible that after that long, he died as well.

all he needs is a brief pause to map out the numbers, twenty three minus seventeen is a very simple equation after all?]

...Is it a spell? Or a sickness?

[cumulative]

[yeah it sure is.]

We don't know. No one has been able to find the cause, before...

Is that why you translate books?

[cumulative]

They're... where we get all of our information about the outside world.

[so, like, kinda. yeah.]

Any books that are found are evaluated for their contents, and kept by the Institute if they contain potentially helpful information... um, but if they're determined not to have that sort of value, then they can be kept by the person who found them. I-I've bought books like that before, when they decided to sell them off.

[are not all Books Helpful Information]

So is your whole family translators? Or just you?

[cumulative]

They... they were, yes. The Claudes have served as official translators, although I'm not... I haven't finished my studies.

Do you have kids?

[he is making so many assumptions here]

[cumulative]

I- I'm not even old enough to drink! I don't have any children!
