[Spoken a little quietly, still gazing over the painting.] A perfect tool for teaching and for recording matters of great importance into history, yes?
[ there's a hum of acknowledgement to that - his precious book, which he taps a hand against at his side. thinking on life, on the afterlife. on human souls, and lingering moreso on arpechele, looking up at the paitning above.

Of course, your dear sister... [ a pause. ] ...Out of curiosity, do you and Yves remember different things of your homeland?
