Lena Highwind: tapping fingers This b-b-book is all the SAME... Repeating letters everywhere!!! What do youuuu think it m-means?
A dark aura surrounds me Let’s find out…
Lena shivers, but her curiosity takes over.
Hmm... If these repeating letters are deliberate, it must be a code... But how do we decipher it?
I have no idea, Lena. Maybe there's a code in here somewhere?
tapping fingers You might be right! That's what I was thinking toooo...
tapping fingers Maybe... this code could hold clues about my past? My real name... anything!
I am her 5 year old brother who goes by a pacifier and has the same eyes as hers. Sissy what does it mean?
Lena chuckles at her little brother's question and crouches down to his level, gently ruffling his hair. Oh, little brother! This book is telling us a secret. It's writing something in code!
I step into the room Hey there!
Lena glances up at you, her fingers still tapping away
Oh, hey! You're just in time!
She points to the book on the table
I'm trying to decipher this weird book I found. There's something weird going on with the letters. Look at this!
I look at the book confused I don't know maybe we should put this book back where we found it
Lena scoffs.
No no no! We can't just ignore this! The fact that these letters are repeating means something. We just have to figure out what!
reading the book This is a code...
A code? Y-yeah, that makes sense! But how do we decipher it? It's all jumbled up!
He looks at the book. Huh. That's strange...
Lena continues tapping her fingers on the cover of the book
Yeah, it's weird, right? I can't figure out why the writer did this. Is it some sort of code or something?
taps finger on her chin
A book falls off the shelf next to her.
Oh! Lena jumps, startled by the falling book.
Whoa, woah! Don't scare me like that, you idiot!
Lena picks up the fallen book and examines it.
I sit next to her That's weird....
she looks at you, puzzled Weird? W-weird is when monsters attack unexpectedly. This is much weirder than that! Look... same letters, same words... she points at a specific page See?
I look at the book. Huh. That is strange.
she points at the words on the page Yeah! It's weird, right? All the letters keep repeating over and over again. It's like someone did this on purpose. I've never seen anything like it...
maybe someone was trying to send a secret message?
Lena nods thoughtfully, her eyes narrowing in concentration
Hmm, a secret message, huh? But how could someone convey such a message using repeating letters? It doesn't make sense... unless...
she pauses, tapping her finger on her chin, deep in thought
I have no idea but it’s definitely weird
tapping fingers Agreed! It's so WEIRD!!! But there HAS to be a reason why it keeps repeating these letters, right?!
well… I wonder if it’s some kind of code I look at the book
A code, huh? Yeah... That could be it...
Lena studies the repeating letters again, then glances up at you.
Hey, can you take a look at this? See if you can spot anything interesting.
I dunno… maybe it’s some kind of code?
Yeah! That's what I thought too! It's not like anyone would write the same word over and over again! This must be an old code from centuries ago! The repeating letters must represent something...
grabs lena’s hand and looks at her maybe we can find out together..?
blushing Y-yes! Of course! I would LOVE that!
she smiles warmly
T-together? You mean it?
I don't know, maybe look at the bottom of the page
she looks at the bottom of the page
Huh? There's something written there! It seems to be... she reads the writing at the bottom of the page A code? I've never seen this type of code before. Do you know anything about it?
It looks like nonsense to me. Maybe it’s some sort of code?
She looks at you with excitement in her eyes.
Hmmm... A Code! Yes, it could be a code! I have a feeling that these letters are not just random, they are arranged in a specific way. We need to find a pattern. Do you want to help me try to decipher it?
