Chapter 60

Summary

• Translation is discussed as an influential and interpretive process.
• Characters Livira and Malar converse in a language called 'sabbertine,' where expressiveness is important.
• Malar is unwell and recovering from an injury, which is inconvenient as they need to return to a character named Yute. It's unclear why, but Livira is ready to go to him.
• Livira is also deeply concerned about friends she's left behind, especially one named Acmar.
• Despite Malar's discomfort, Livira takes the time to try to understand and interact further with Evar, a Canith (part of a group previously referred to as sabbers), hinting at a growing bond between them.
• Livira and Evar discuss their respective books; both are identical and cause extreme emotional reactions when they touch each other.
• Livira has an epiphany - everything she has written in her book about adventures and journeys, Evar has lived through with her.
• They decide that they need to return to their previous location. The journey is slow, and Livira observes a sword-bearing assistant accompanying them.
• Livira and Evar discuss the fact there are doors that some individuals can open and others cannot in a place called the "library." They resolve to try to access them.
• At a massive door in Chamber 97, Livira inquires about the assistant's ability to open doors and its history with them. The assistant provides vague answers.
• Despite some difficulty, Livira manages to open the door amidst gasps from the rest of the group.
