This is a tribute to absence, to the weaver-workers who tied the nots.
AU-IM REFLECTS!

Loving is more perilous than a dragon, harder than steel. Returning love is more perilous than a nine province army, harder than ebony.
Love for love's sake is meaningless. Love for one's own sake is emptiness. To the clerk in the counting-house, coins have no value. The poor man knows the shape and weight and flaws of each.

This is the lesson of The Tower and The Serpent: every Wheel needs an Axis.
This is the lesson of Magnus and The Twins: every Reflection needs a Mirror.
Fire rejoices in fire.
Blood rejoices in blood.
