[this is followed by some doodles of both the outside and inside parts of the forgotten shrine Mithos saw, as well as the ring, and a scribble on one side: 'note: shared dreams: why?']
The memory on the castle gate:
- Beauty used to have a prince? 'no one is coming to save us' 'a matter of interpretation' 'I still want him to come and save me' (is this part of the story or is she talking about before or both) - Maleficent isn't invited...to what? (were they friends before stories)
[and another scribble, a half-formed thought: 'memories are harder to look at once they're just inside your own head']
[a couple of pages of sketches -- apparent attempts at shrine building plans, erased and redrawn so frequently that at one point he wore a hole in the paper]
Personae who ran games together? White Queen/Madame White, White Queen/Dream, naked lady/mirror, Brother Deer/Unicorn, Sea Witch/Lion, Kiriko/Masked Lady, Goldie/Maleficent, Narcissus/Green Knight.
Talk to each other outside that? Dream/Maleficent, Beauty/Maleficent, Firebird/Lion, Automaton/Odile, Three/White Queen.
Personae influencing each other? Dream/Three?
Knights and Personae helping each other out -- who asks who? What's asked? How? Personae messing with each other -- wants, requests from heroes?
