Autumn tries to pick up the rack and screws.

The rack is as large as you is, and you fail. The screws you can pick up, they're pretty basic torture tools, sharp, covered in blood and so forth.

A key is stuck to the wall. You hear a child's laugh.

As in, there's a keyhole in the wall, or it's stabbed into the wall?

Norelt was bored. Most of the rest of the village had left, but he wanted nothing to do with that. He was safe at home. He fixed some door hinges, then took a nap.

Don't make any excitement for him please! I just want him to chill.

Norelt started awake. Water? But he had just fixed his roof! He jumped out of bed, collected his tools, and went back up to patch the leak.

You see a large sharp stick has somehow embedded itself in your roof! It's causing a leak!

You see a little girl, some distance away, playing hopscotch.

You find many scenes, one depicting a sunrise over a sunken city. Another Is a scene of a forest, one of the city of jade, back when it was being built. Yet another was a portrait of a man with his daughter, a monochrome painting of a mountain, and one of ruins.

Laegon stares at the forest painting and the Jade Palace for anything he may recognize.

You've seen those trees before, In a dream. You remember now it was a nightmare, and you were wandering in a strange forest, where the trees were twisted and wept blood. These giants stretched far above you, blotting out the sun and sky. You remember running from a voice that spoke of dark magic and "The Broken Place". This is not the forgotten land, for it was never known.

The painting of the Cities of Jade, metropolises to the north, is unremarkable. You remember that they transmuted mud brick to jade with magic. This is not the forgotten land, it's quite known.

"Well damn. I must be a ghost magnet." Chiyo mutters to herself.

She settles down on the floor next to the girl. This didn't seem like the bear-trap, knife-throwing kind of ghost.
