( And once she canon updates, oh, how Hideously Relevant those words will be. )
Yes. On Yamatai, I found some records written by a young woman, Hoshi, chosen by the Sun Queen to be one of her handmaidens. She must have been from the Kamakura period, I think, so around the late twelfth to mid-fourteenth century, just about? Centuries were between us, and yet I felt as though I were reading diary entries of a friend. She was worried about something.
( A drag of breath as she thinks - the pyre, Sam, Mathias invoking Himiko. Hoshi had sounded so... hesitant. ) Souls are, admittedly, rather more mystical than I'd like my understanding to be, but I suspect my preferences have little to do with reality.
