Excuse me, can anyone tell me if they can read this? A quick note will be fine. There's no reason something I write down in my journal with normal ink and paper should show up in someone else's. I'm pretty sure it's scientifically impossible.

But I'm also sure that human beings don't normally hatch from giant cocoons, and if they did, they would hatch as babies. Except I did, and my brother River did, and Cara said everyone here does, so maybe 'impossible' is just something we haven't figured out the reason for yet.

So please let me know if you can read this! I don't think she was lying to me, but she might be misinformed, and anyway it's not good to just take someone's word for it when I can test the hypothesis myself.

Oh, my name is Rosalind.

Hey, Rosalind! How are you and River settling in?

Alchemy is right, though. You do need to be careful about how you ask questions here.

Is this Cara? We're doing all right. The other people in temporary housing are nice.

I didn't realize things were so sensitive. I'm not trying to pry into anyone's secrets, really.

Oh! Yeah, sorry. It takes a while to recognize people's handwriting.

[tap tap tap. The following is struck after a minute.]

I'm sorry, I should have told you and River when you got here, but I didn't want to overload you.

I'll just take notes until I remember.

It's okay. I think everything is an overload, but I can handle it!

Oh, maybe I shouldn't write this down.
