Shan Yun's Diary

Death of the Outsider

[Last Entry]

I must remember to change the aria that unlocks my safe. Perhaps I’ll grab Gloriana's card from the gallery, and calibrate the safe to it...? Bah! It doesn’t matter what song I choose as long as it’s different. I can’t keep “Among the Oxrush Blooms” as the key, not now that Eolina knows the secret to my musical lock. I adore her, but I’m no fool. A man must protect his treasures.

My darling Eolina believes the lock requires live singing to open, and I didn’t disabuse her of the notion. But it’s untrue. An audiograph of the correct aria will suffice as well. As long as the lock recognizes the pure tones of my voice, it will open. The safe company insists it’s dangerous to have the audiographs as a reserve measure, but what else could I do? I’ll never forget the time I had a throat infection. The stubborn lock didn’t recognize my sad croaks and squawks as me. It refused to open, and I couldn’t wear my jewels that night. No, no. Better a little risk than to perform unadorned.
