    Advice Column: Ask Aleph

    Q.
    Dear Aleph, much like you, I am an avid reader of all sorts of fiction. Therefore, it puzzles me to find that you have enjoyed every published piece by the frequently-discussed author Recoleta. Frankly, I have found all of Ms. Recoleta’s works to be confusing, tasteless, and pretentious, and I am curious why you have found so much meaning in her work when the majority of critics say otherwise.
    —Anonymous

    A.
    Dear Anonymous,
    I will be the first to admit that Recoleta’s works are not always the easiest to understand. But I believe that there is a certain sense of accomplishment in unearthing every idea, every picture, and every drop of symbolism that runs through her stories’ veins. It is my personal belief that many critics do not give Recoleta’s portfolio more than a surface-level glance. I will not lie: if one truly desires to find meaning in her writing, a difficult task may rise ahead of them. But is it not in the nature of literature to present us pictures we must work to decipher ourselves?

    Recoleta and Aleph reconnect after the events of Folie et Déraison. Told through various newspaper clippings, letters, and other documentation.

    Merlin performs "surgery" on the Idealist.
    It goes about as well as any other surgery performed by Merlin.

    If you're here for poetry, skip everything and read the end notes of chapter 2

    Summary

    “Why, dear Physician, you’ve been staring at him through that window for the past… ah, was it two hours? What has spurred this infatuation in a cold-hearted soul such as yours? I wonder!” The Idealist began to chuckle, but was cut off by a mixture between a cough, gasp, and scream when Merlin hit the former’s throat with the blunt handle of his scalpel.

    “It is no such… infatuation, you fool,” Merlin corrected. He had taken the mantle of a “corrector” of sorts, correcting the minds of these insane prisoners. Something about a red-haired corrector in an isolated society of arcanists resonated with a certain memory in his head, but as far as Merlin was aware, he was not from Apeiron.

    “Going on,” Merlin said, “the one you call ‘García’ is merely an interesting subject. That is all.”
