[Hakkai supposes that it wouldn't hurt if he only showed one person. Canas is someone that he knows and trusts, so it should be okay. He pulls out a perfect replica of an old pocket watch. The glass covering the face is cracked and the golden metal encasing it is scratched and worn.]
She gave it to me when we started dating. After she died, I always kept it in my pocket. I used to pull it out and look at it while I was thinking of her.
[He nods, understanding that this is something entirely sensitive.]
I see...so it truly is always an object that is meaningful to us. Still...the attachment feels slightly abnormal, despite this.
[A pause, and he lifts up the crystalline book figure.]
This appears to be a figure of a book my mother wrote, which, while it is certainly meaningful, still...seems rather unusual for me to feel so attached to.
[Hakkai suddenly puts the watch back in his pocket. He's realized that he had been staring at it for too long.]
Some people have speculated on that, but... I don't think there's any way of knowing for certain yet. I think, in time, perhaps we'll find out? Certainly, gathering more data wouldn't hurt.
Indeed. Everything that has occurred here has had some form of purpose, correct? I am assuming that these are the same, though...certainly far more preferable than the usual Somarium fare.
Though I am certain that we shall learn in time. It simply...is somewhat against my nature to wait for information.
Perhaps one of those. Yes, I do understand what you are getting at, and you are correct. I suppose I shall just have to wait and see in this situation.
It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks. Observing the way these objects react to the situations they're in will likely give us some clues as to what their purpose is.
There must be some way to experiment on the substance without bringing any harm to the object... but, I'm not sure that I would be able to do it, either.
Er...I do not wish to pry. I am simply curious. You have received something as well?

Yes, I did. I take it that receiving these items has become a common occurrence lately?

It does seem to be occurring to everyone. It is rather strange, but...I feel strangely attached to it.

It is a bit strange that they showed up the way they did. I wonder if they have some association with our dream energy.

I must wonder what the purpose behind these is, however.

[It sounds a bit like a lecture, but he's just teasing you.]
Alternatively, I suppose I could say, 'patience is a virtue' but... I don't really care for virtues.
Ah, haste makes waste. ...or something?
