The Forgotten Name of the Grand Record

If your name disappears from the Record, so do you. Completely and without

a trace. The Grand Record holds every life. When a child is born,

it writes their name. But that morning, I found a page untouched by

time. Just a vast, haunting blank. I am Seren Vale,

an archivist. I repair history, I am not meant to question it.

There has never been a Toren Hale. You are simply mistaken about the

registry, child. But I spoke to him yesterday. He complained about

the rain and he smiled at me.
