[Gorthan is sitting on a bench, and the Library can clearly be seen in the background. He sighs to himself before speaking.]

It would appear I have been asleep for nearly a month. Of you, dear denizens of Vatheon, I ask two things - that you tell me more about this unusual state of prolonged sleep, and that you provide a brief report of anything I may have missed during my forced absence.

You have my thanks in advance. And if you wish for a reward in exchange for the information I seek, it could consists of book recommendations, for I have nothing else to offer at the moment.

[Inwardly, he is a little nervous. He has yet to check whether on his acquaintances here, and he wonders whether they are all still around.]

Did you say book recommendations?! That's a trade I like.

A MONTH!? [Scribbles that down] That's the longest I've heard about someone having been in coma.

Let's see... The coral was acting up as usual,causing a massive power outage, followed by the translation system having whacked out. Then some mystical and powerful force known as 'Yami' attacked the island, only to be defeated.

Well, ya may have lucked out. We had some real trouble with a vicious monster... but we managed ta defeat it by workin' together. I even got a new power out of it, somehow.

People with the mark of the Lamufao have a chance of falling into a coma-like state. Generally, they last no longer than a month. You should go touch the coral when you have the chance so that you do not fall ill, sir.

Extended sleep seems to be a hazard of this land.

[Motochika sits in his garden, his shamisen upon his lap and his oshawott with him. One hand remains curled around the neck of his instrument, and for a moment the edge of the video is obscured by his bachi, which he holds in the hand he works the SFC with.]

The risk of enchanted sleep has always been part of life in Vatheon. There is no way to predict its onset, nor its duration. Normally it runs its course in a matter of weeks. Gracia once slept for two months.

As for what you have missed... this month a battle between gods took place. Yet more interesting were the consequences of their battle. The damage done to the island's surface gave us foreigners access to one of the local scientists' research facilities. It was emptied out before they abandoned it, but even a bare shell holds information.

Moreover, the damage lead to the return of Thalassino, Vatheon's high priestess.

[ Gracia smiles; she's incredibly happy that Gorthan was still in Vatheon. She'd lost too many friends without a goodbye because of the cursed sleep... ]

Gorthan! You were just asleep...I'm so glad you're awake now! [ She tucks loose hair behind her ear. ] You have nothing to worry about. Everyone, at one point, sleeps for a long time. Even me and Father.

[ Gracia hums, her chin tilted upwards, lips in a pout. ]

You missed quite a lot though. Where shall I began...?
