When Class ended Cohen left in a rush, packing their things quickly and leaving.
The old chapel wasn’t in a state of disrepair, but the years had passed it by and many of the items were crumbling or reclaimed by nature. Cohen found peace in this idea that though the elements may wear you down, you can still stand as tall as a castle. While looking for the relic that was pulling on their soul and calling to them, Cohen found many interesting knick-knacks including a key that they decided to make into a necklace, a set of teacups with maps to fantasy worlds, and a music box that was unnervingly similar to the one in their dream. But though these items were interesting, they weren’t what Cohen was looking for, so they kept looking. He eventually stumbled into a library that was used by students to record what life was like while at school, and knew that this was the place. The entire room was filled with small leather-bound journals from the years 1325-1894, with pocket watches painted on the spine of each book to tell which dormitory they were from. (north, east, south, west) Cohen decided to take four from each century and browse through them. They found that in the journals from the west wing dormitory, there were mentions of extremely realistic dreams, with nearly the exact description of the dream that Cohen had had the night before, so he decided to do more research in the west wing dormitory journals. A lot of the journals either had accounts of the dream with the never-ending library, or skepticism of the dreams that their friend had. Journals with the latter often ended suddenly or with illegible writing and disturbing images. After using north and south wing journals as reference, Cohen found that though there were skeptics in other dormitories, they went without harm, and this got him thinking. What is it about the west wing that holds so much power? And what does the library have to do with it? They decided that though their findings might be hard to believe, they would involve their friends.
