[ The elegance of his handwriting, or rather the handwriting itself, catches her attention, and she leans forward over the table. This world's magic translation is odd, but she gets the impression that his script resembles that of the Kingdom's.

It's easy to understand the gist of it: avoid "yang", and consume food and medicines with the association of "yin".

She takes the paper offered, reading over it. Never had Class Zero's "Mother"-- Dr. Al-Rashia-- suggested that Rem had some sort of imbalance within her. The medicine she had prescribed caused intense pain at night, but she had assured Rem it would help. Like a good patient, she had taken it religiously.

If relief involves something as simple as changing her diet and avoiding the incorrect medications... perhaps it's something they missed. Perhaps this will work. Yet, Rem's fingers crinkle the edges of the paper. How many times has she held a prescription, a doctor's order, a torn page from a spellbook, or something else in her hands feeling the same hope that it might work? It feels more than a million times. More than a hundred million times. Suddenly, she feels very... old.
