Summary
It is sitting innocently on the table as you stare it down like it might grow teeth and attack at the slightest movement. The paper of the envelope is aged and wrinkled, a careful sketch of a wide brimmed hat and stylized cloak sitting just to the right of the text detailing who the letter is addressed to. It should be unreadable.
Should, being the keyword here.
You can read it. You feel like throwing up.
Reading it isn’t the problem. Comprehending it is.

Or,
Siffrin receives a letter and procrastinates on reading it.

Bookmarker's Notes
It's the night before they arrive in Dormont, and Odile dreams of a tide receding, of a warning to climb to higher ground, of the promise of something great and terrible and unstoppable.
She wakes up in her own tent, and thinks about what it means to know the shape and name and nature of a disaster but be powerless to do anything but wait for its arrival.

Summary
You felt a misplaced sense of ownership over Vaugarde. You’d just gotten here! You couldn’t bear to lose the place. Not when you still hadn’t found…
Found whatever it was you had come here for.
You would know it when you saw it, you figured.
Odile comes to Vaugarde with hopes of self-discovery, and gets in over her head in more ways than one.

Summary
Bonnie bursts into tears the second they see them. "I'm sorry, Frin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry--"
Mirabelle, holding a hand on Bonnie's shoulder, looks like she wants to cry too. She can't meet Siffrin's eyes. Eye. It probably looks pretty bad, even with a temporary bandage to hide the worst of it.
Siffrin focuses on Bonnie. The last thing they saw clearly with both eyes was Bonnie frozen in fear, a Sadness racing toward them. And now, even if they only have one eye, they can see that Bonnie isn't hurt. That's good. That's good! They managed to keep them safe. They'd rather see Bonnie smile through one eye than see their corpse with both.

Bookmarker's Notes
They can't accept any more help. It's not even about not wanting to bother the others, it's just--logical? Yeah. If they asked Odile, she'd call it logical. They need to relearn how to do things on their own with one eye because they're going to be on their own again eventually. So asking for help wouldn't just be bothering the others, it'd be holding themself back.

Summary
You'd wanted more than anything for things to be different. You'd wanted more than anything for them to stay with you. You'd wanted more than anything to be understood.
Well. Those sure are all byproducts of your brand new, more complicated problem. You'd say you should put your heads together to figure it out, but....
....you're all sharing the one head.

Bookmarker's Notes
You breathe out slowly. Ok. Recap. Your family's consciousnesses are trapped in your mind, but their bodies are still walking around, conforming to the script you've formed. Even when you say something off-script, they seem to try their best to act 'normally', even if you can very much tell that they're doing it wrong.
Your real family is in your head, communicating with you via thoughts, and they can hear yours, at all times. They can control your body, too, if they try hard enough. You'll figure out more about how that works later.
You don't know why this happened. You don't know how to make it stop happening. And frankly, it's all just one more thing to figure out while you're trapped here.
