[There is a sound of wind and tiny chittering sound recorded over the journal and then, in a loud voice, someone begins to speak.]
How did I get back to my castle? I have no time to waste with this! We must return to the human world immediately so I can continue--
[And silence as he cuts his speech short.]
This is not my castle! My castle wouldn't have a bed, it would have--
[There is a distinct "pop" followed by more silence, and then, doubtfully]
And thicker curtains on the windows!
[A softer "pop" is heard. With each further declaration, the confidence in his voice grows.]
A better desk to sit at! A larger mirror! The walls should be black, not grey! And the door should be red!
[Another pause.]
Show me the location and identity of the Eighth Child!
[Silence.]
So, I am only allowed to have certain things I wish for, eh? But you can't hide from me for long. The Crest is glowing, so you must be near.
