1 nq311301_msg0001 Xl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I know this rite of Coming
Home quite well.
2 nq311301_msg0002 Xl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Next year will be my turn to take yon rite.
The Wreath of Sophora shall grace my
brow.
3 nq311301_msg0003 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Beg pardon, what...
What is this "Wreath of Sophora"?
4 nq311301_msg0004 Xl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 An honored treasure of the sacred rite!
Of metal wrought; its shape, Sophora
leaves.
5 nq311301_msg0005 Xl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Four proofs were once required, but 'tis no
more. A simpler rite persists in these dark
days, the world outside as hostile as it is.
6 nq311301_msg0006 Xl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 The wreath alone remains, itself the proof.
Its wearers shall be recognized by all.
7 nq311301_msg0007 6 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 So, it's a pretty important hat we're talking
about here! Thanks for telling us about it.
8 nq311301_msg0101 Xl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Another year, another ritual.
My heart is light! It almost leaps for joy!
9 nq311301_msg0102 Xl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Now that you've helped us see this mission
through, behold us, friends, in this, our
finest hour!
10 nq311301_msg0103 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Romero, is there someone in particular
who you'd like to see there?
11 nq311301_msg0104 Xl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Why, no one else but Boxy, naturally.
'Twas she who raised this orphan boy
with love.
12 nq311301_msg0105 Xl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 She aided me to grow up good and strong.
I'll tell her once the ritual is done.
13 nq311301_msg0106 Xl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Behold as I repay her loving work!
