I don't find myself burdened with nostalgia, as there is no time that cannot be improved with false remembrances. But while I find there to be many frivolous technological advances that I cannot wrap my head around in the years that I have been between Worlds, one that I cannot find fault with is the camera. I had a very old one (a daguerreotype, actually) that required its sitters to be perfectly still; Bod was too much a fidgeting child for me to ever catch his likeness. Not that it matters, since my belongings did not follow me into this universe.
But I maintain that there are quite a few of the Living and the Dead along the way that should have been immortalized in light and shadow of the camera's recording. Faces I have missed seeing, people whose features grow more vague with the ticking of the clock. In some ways it is a comfort to think that here, there are those who have the faces of others.
Perhaps I will see their likeness again, someday.
