I pressed the button on my box last week.

I did it with full confidence, despite knowing that I would hurt someone- for all I know, I could have even killed someone. I- I can't I can't say I don't regret it, now that I've received nothing except guilt, but... you have to realize that I had to do it. I have to go home to Victoria. Don't all of you understand? I can't remain here and spend unnecessary hours waiting, not when I've got less than a week left. Less than a weak to determine the rest of my life.

The right thing to do- the way I can make up for it all, would be to give away my mushroom. Remember that incident with the bear? I still have it on me-- that magical mushroom which can restore a single life. And to consider how many people have died even this month...

But I won't be giving it to anyone. I need to save it for Yvaine or myself because how could I deliver a star to Victoria if the star dies? It's not so unlikely at this point- I suppose living forever's enough to make some people do just about anything, but all I want is Victoria.

If I can't win Victoria's hand in marriage, then what else do I have? The humdrum of mediocrity day in and day out?

I'm just a shopboy, you know. You can't expect so much out of me.

If a star is what it takes, then I'll go to whatever lengths to bring it to her.

Yvaine wouldn't be safe traveling alone now.

So you want to keep Yvaine safe and in doing so you hope your valor will allow you to bring her to Victoria? What is Victoria going to do with her anyway?

Something like that.

And she'd do Nothing. Victoria only has to see her for me to prove that I've succeeded. After that I'll... I don't know- maybe we'll somehow find another Babylon Candle and send her back to the sky.

That isn't very nice for Yvaine. What if your world is not kind to her?

I haven't really thought about that yet, but it's only a step across a wall.

And getting to Narnia was only a walk through the wardrobe. The first time.

She'll be fine. I was perfectly fine after entering her world.

I hope you know what you are doing.

Don't worry.
