After wandering around Eientei for a few minutes, Grimnír notices someone familiar. Her short blonde hair and distinct blue and pink dress are unmistakable. He smiles as he walks closer. He hasn't really had the chance to talk to Alice today. Their encounter during breakfast this morning could have gone better.

"Hey Alice," he says.

She doesn't reply. As he approaches the puppeteer magician, he realizes the reason. She seems to have fallen asleep while sitting on one of the chairs, a large black book in her lap. Her face is serene and peaceful. Shanghai sits silently beside her. He can't help but smile as he steps closer.

"... eh?"

Lying scattered on a table beside her are several sewing implements: pieces of colored cloth, ribbons, spools of thread, a pincushion full of needles, and a few other odds and ends. Nearby are several woodworking tools, but no wood. He also spots several other strange reagents and materials that he doesn't recognize. There are sheets of paper as well, full of designs and high-level runes. At a glance, it looks like she was working on one of her projects.

"Hmm."

It isn't like her to work out in the open like this. Why didn't she return back to her workshop at her cottage? Curious, Grimnír glances closer at her schematics. Most of it is written in a language that he doesn't understand, but one word catches his eye.

> Valkyrie

He blinks and rubs his eyes. When he stares at the plans again, he doesn't understand a thing. Were his eyes playing tricks on him?

"Ah!"

Something interrupts his thoughts. A refreshing aroma wafts into his nostrils. The kitchen is only a short distance away. Perhaps someone has started cooking lunch? He turns to Alice. She seems to be sleeping soundly.
