Sure, I got it.

[ Sage seems to consider that for a moment, but... ]
That is a mystery for you to uncover.

[ look man, he just wants some answers here. ]

[ Sage, for their part, sounds sincere about this. ]
That isn't to say I do not want to tell you. Were that the case, I would not have mentioned the existence of another note at all.

[ Because this one is... something that causes Sage a bit of concern, and that's evident in their voice. ]
Then, should they ask if I have seen other strange letters, I will speak of yours.

Noble of you.
[ Blunt words, but it doesn’t sound like there’s any ill intent behind them. Sage means it. ]

I think a few people mentioned monsters at the... investigation.

I can't help but hope it's just someone messing with me.

[ However… the puppet looks down at the letter. ]
Should you find that it is not, do seek my counsel. I may not be able to provide immediate assistance, but I shall do what I am able regardless.
no subject
Okay, I'll keep that in mind. Do you want a copy of that letter as a reference?
[ ... ]
One I'll... make by hand, I guess.
[ are. are there even any printers in the library... ]

I would take one if the effort wouldn't be a trouble. Otherwise, I will remember it.

Your effort is not unappreciated, Ludger. Let us hope that this note only proves to have negligible impact.
[ Sage will allow him to be dismissed, unless he has any questions right now! ]
