You know who understood this? One man. I have set this out plainly so it cannot be dismissed as a feeling. It is not a feeling. It is a pattern.

The matter at hand is why every title is an instruction, if you read them in order.

Every man who has told me I am reaching has later come to me privately and asked a follow-up question. Every one. I keep a list of those too. A neighbour who only writes when they need marches is what he was getting at with If You're Reading This It's Too Late, and I would put that record against any chronicle in the Citadel. The 6 raised me. The realm merely employs me.

Six side. That is all I will say. Do not send a raven about it.

Lord 6God said "I have set this out plainly so it cannot be dismissed as a feeling" — The maesters have a word for this and it is not 'pattern'. This is the third of these this moon. I have counted, which means you have won something.

Lord 6God said "I have set this out plainly so it cannot be dismissed as a feeling" — Speaking of coin: I came here for grain prices and I have been given a lecture on album covers. And yet I will read the next one. That is the part I cannot explain to my wife.

Lord 6God said "I have set this out plainly so it cannot be dismissed as a feeling" — I showed this to my steward. He asked whether you were quite well. I will be back tomorrow to tell you the same thing, because apparently that is my life now.

Lord 6God said "I have set this out plainly so it cannot be dismissed as a feeling" — As ever. We are a strategy board. This is the strategy board. You are posting this on the strategy board. And yet I will read the next one. That is the part I cannot explain to my wife.
