Sonetto

After recruiting children and training them, St. Pavlov Foundation will select the most outstanding ones of the year and bestow medals upon them. She has carefully pinned these medals from the Foundation to her cape, where they remain as shiny as they have been from the beginning.

A uniform hat custom made for the parade by SPDM using the basic design of beret. The copper pipe has recorded a paean on tradition, glory, rationality, and responsibility.

The considerate arcane skill it carries can also work as a prompter, though the interviewee doesn't need it at all.

A pair of ordinary glasses, hand-polished, lacking distinctiveness—a style no glasses store would be without. Nevertheless, their significance remains undiminished — "a small window to observe the world."

A pair of dress gloves for formal occasions, dotted with shiny pearls.

As a widely recognized top student, the interviewee has mastered skills across many fields—dressing up, however, isn't one of them. Appearing before others like this is a rare experience for her.

It was enclosed in a letter of gratitude to the Foundation. Like millions of others, the letter was not postmarked or signed. Sonetto took the letter and has been keeping it carefully since then.

A pair of gloves custom made for the parade by SPDM. It has been carefully bleached and starched. Even the slightest wrinkle has been ironed by Sonetto herself - a price she must pay for a perfect ceremony.

A simply designed tassel shawl, acquired from an unnamed clothing store on some street corner.

The time for external assignments is always short and precious. Fortunately, our interviewee always completes them promptly and properly.

A dip pen whose name and worth are inseparable from the interviewee herself. The champagne-colored feather adorning it came from a surprise encounter with a dazzling flying Critter.

She uses it to write, to record, to weave stories together. It carries something of both memories and inspiration.

A glass pen that can visualize the imagery in poems as it is, it can do nothing about non-poetic content.

Those who have seen Sonetto's arcane skill agree that her paintings are very close to reality.

A stick for the parade. It was only granted to Sonetto by SPDM as a badge of glory for the most outstanding graduate. She will hold this stick and take the lead in the procession as always.

The "Pragmatist" series oblique pen holder from Beaupen, paired with a fixed dip pen nib, offers an excellent writing experience. The interviewee appears quite solemn when displaying it — "I never knew there were so many styles of fountain pens ... "

A pair of black formal dance shoes, unusually made of satin.

At Ms. Sotheby's enthusiastic recommendation: the interviewee had the chance to browse countless extravagant garments, weighing her choice carefully before settling on the right pair. This wasn't about status or price. It was about growth, about choice.

The St. Pavlov Foundation is currently the largest public and official organization which houses arcanists.

The foundation has invested a great deal of effort in the protection and supervision of unique children. They are constantly sending manpower all over the world to seek out children with a talent for arcanum. It does not matter where the children are or whether they wish to come along.

The children who have been taken in will develop their abilities through rigorous training and eventually take over this seemingly endless mission for the peace of mankind.

On February 14 at the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, a float, on which a wealthy businessman had spent an excessive amount of money, suddenly rose into the air and broke up when the passengers left on a break. The police found no signs of tampering.

Was this the work of arcanists? Rio de Janeiro ... had a lot of beaches? What was going on at the carnival ...

On July 8, the first trackless underwater train started operation. The first stop was Hawaii and it would end services at San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Is an underwater train better than an SF Airship? Will I see sea creatures from inside? Will the committee be interested in introducing one?

On November 27, an Aerocar racing athlete drove a custom car in Utah and broke the world record with a speed of 577 miles per hour.

!!! It shouldn't take much time to get from the Foundation headquarters to Venice at that speed, right?!

Pandora Wilson: I have seen your paintings ... They are extremely complex. I'm sure you have spent much time training your skill.

Sonetto: I am not good at drawing ... Those scenes in the poem I depicted... are just my own imagination.

Pandora Wilson: Those are art.

Pandora Wilson: I guess these works will be considered exploration of an unknown field of art if they are shown to the public outside the foundation.

Sonetto: What? You mean ... they do not look the same as the outside world ...?

Pandora Wilson: The same? Why would you want it to be the same? They are your creation, and no one can copy your style.

Sonetto: Sorry, but I have problems understanding your words.

Sonetto: Looks like I can use much more knowledge about the outside world.
