Notes containing what she has heard and observed at the info-gathering, mainly about Lupê, their role in the Katalyth's issues. Notes from talking to people, mostly emphasizing needing to get rid of the Katalyth. (Mel's side note - So, some sort of removal process? But how exactly are they doing that safely?)
Additional notes: everyone practically knows someone who is suffering from arcane radiation, getting sicker. Many have died.
A page is folded and stuck in there, like a journal entry torn out. Mel's own experiences being close to the Katalyth: detailing how it was easier to be around certain other individuals, that touching that person seemed to result in feeling safer. Mel makes a note (twice crossed out before finally relenting to be honest) that she was having hallucinations when she was too close, all gruesome, all about home-related activities. No specific details about what she saw.
Finally, a sticky note added later: Silco mentioned rumors that pieces of Katalyth may be in the city. Smuggled? Unsure how. Assuming he's looking into it. Will be following up. Even more notes later, all in Mel's flowing script, this time a bit more formal: • Is the Katalyth alive? Shows signs of being reactive to a person's presence. • Are our 'Natural Souls' already infused with something else (i.e. magic) prior to being given to us? What makes them able to withstand the arcane radiation better? • Animals and plants in forest seem to have adapted to arcane radiation. How? • Why is it easier to manage symptoms from Katalyth if we're closer to someone else? Difference between touching their arm versus being in their presence? • Spoke with someone who 'felt' something from the Katalyth but could not identify what. Will test again.
