You allow yourself the slight diversion of retrieving your Musical Device from inside the Work-Desk and putting on your Precious Headphones. You have only recorded a few Performances. The ceramic Disk currently inside the Musical Device holds a recording you took at a thrilling, haunting Performance by a trio that passed through your area several months ago, on their way to the City. The Disk has not left the Device since you recorded it. The spell has not faded: every time it begins playing in your ears, you are transported back to that time and space. You see the worn edges of the Instruments, smell the moss and the long grass of the Dael, feel the cool ground beneath you. It’s enchanting. But it’s not enough to make you want to attack the Big Project.
