"What makes this skill so important is... It is a way to capture memories. When a necklace, or a bracelet, or an anklet is made, it holds important memories within.

The reason for making or receiving it, what was happenning at that moment, the emotions that were felt..."
Another one done. He put it aside, but did not take up another. Instead he inspected his own body, seeing four pieces of jewelry on himself. Actually, no, there were five including his necklace. He held up his arm, gently lifting up the loose-fitting bracelet with one claw.
"An example... Whenever I look at this one, I will remember you four. I will remember this place. I will remember everything I taught you here today."
