   I first came in sight of Marcus on the 15th of March. We were introduced by our mutual comrade Anya Veel, or, as you spell it in her native Bulgarian, Anya Veel. She mentioned him because of a joke he made during her class in which he made the comment 'For all the points on the compass, there is only one direction, and it's only measure is time.' Upon hearing this I immediately knew the truth. My suspicions were confirmed when the kid came in sight. THe first thing that struck me was his coat of full Cashmere. Secondly, I notice his face. It was the face I had known so long ago. It was, in fact, the very face of Felicia. Except, it was male, and younger, and named Marcus... Marcus Bentley Cooper (as he made sure I understood well). Immediately I asked the important question: 'Does the oyster have a fine wristwatch?' His response moved me, but not merely emotionally, from then on my psyche was transformed, and, quite possibly, when I first heard it I physically collapsed. 

   'No.'
