>"Would be nice if we knew what it was. I wouldn't be surprised if shadows were involved somehow. But I don't think there's much we do but idly speculate, given what little we know. It is an avenue for investigation tomorrow, however."
>"On that point, I discovered something else of interest this evening. You recall me mentioning the book the poltergeist said was stolen from her? Well, we found it. I stopped by Renko and Maribel's to see if you'd returned there, and found Luna still around. It occurred to me to ask her if she'd heard tell of any fairies finding a book in the forest. Apparently one had, and had traded it to Alice for some candy. The rather more curious thing, when I spoke to Alice about this, is that it turns out to have been her's in the first place. The poltergeist stole it from her, a week or so ago."
>"It's a book describing the various worlds, from the reference point of the six realms of rebirth. There's a small section on Bhava-Agra, among other things, and enough information that she may have been able to infer how to reach here. Beyond that, I'm not sure the book's relevance, or if there's any connection aside from simply curiosity on the poltergeist's part about what's out there."
>"I left the book with Renko for the night. so she can have a look through it. I'm hoping she may be able to find something more particularly relevant to this situation in there, but even if not, I think the poltergeist would appreciate me returning it to her. Or, at least, I hope that she might. Given her attitude earlier, I will take nothing for granted. I realize that the book is actually Alice's, but under the circumstances, I think it rather less important to try and correct the spectre's notion of ownership than to attempt to mollify her."
