I’m laughing so hard at this it’s incredible. 

Like. That wasn’t even it. That wasn’t even the actual feather book. That was just a copy. 

Even the COPY of the feather book had the power to TRAP SYAORAN’S SOUL IN A HELLSCAPE OF FORBIDDEN MEMORIES THAT NO-ONE COULD SNAP HIM OUT OF. 

And there are THOUSANDS of these books, just, all over the place. Just casually. People sell these in stores and it’s popular enough that it’s even stocked in the library. 

EVERYONE IS JUST, HAPPILY GOING THROUGH EXTENDED FLASHBACKS THROUGH EACH OTHERS’ MEMORIES FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AND THIS IS BOTH A MARKETABLE AND PROFITABLE EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF BOOKS AVAILABLE IN THIS COUNTRY.

Kurogane immediately tries to recover his reputation by sounding mad and using angry speech but it has no effect on anyone whatsoever and I’m thrilled to bits. 

THEY KNOW YOU, KUROGANE. THERE IS NO HIDING ANYMORE. 

But I’m endlessly amused that Mokona’s Empathy Radar is so effective that it even hones in on HUNGER. 

I know that feeling. ‘Almost unbearable’ is absolutely correct. 

I will never recover from Mokona’s fountain of hearts while physically attached to the front of Kurogane’s face. 

ALL OF THIS AND MORE. 

Like, this is the most fascinating and incredible thing to casually drop into the world building and then just never explore to it’s full extent. It’s almost criminal that we’ll never get to see any of these scenarios played out. 

Because the more you think about it the more incredible it gets. 

Famous people could sell parts of their lives that everyone would want to experience first hand. 

Scientific experiment? Don’t need to describe the results, just save the actual and relivable memory so that everyone can see it. 

Did you miss out on that concert you really wanted to go to? Now you can buy the full experience to relive at your leisure.

And what if you could alter the memories using magic? Or create new ones?

BAM. FULLY LIVABLE FICTION NOVEL. 

That is a safe assumption to make. 

But also, as it stands, there’s nothing that specifies either way. 

All the practical applications of the memory books could still absolutely still work if they were one shot things, though. Hell, that would make them even more marketable. If you bought just one version of a person’s memories you could only experience them once, right? Clearly that means you should buy more of them.

For a second I thought Fai meant that both men and women wore fancy suits in this world and I was so happy you guys. But sure, skirts are good. I’ll take it. 

And MOKONA THAT HAT LOOKS TERRIBLE ON YOU. 

THAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING. 

WHO KNEW THAT MOKONA HAD A FASHION SENSE AND THAT THE FASHION SENSE WAS WRONG. 

What does that even mean. 

I just. Ok no I’m just going to turn the page hang on 

Oh my god.
