[ The video starts to show John and Kaneki, and in the background there is a doll. Before any of the two can say anything, she asks “what is that” and although Kaneki looks back at her, he doesn’t answer. John’s eyes roll briefly towards the sky, and then he makes himself smile, and look back at the camera.
It’s a tense smile. He doesn’t love being on video. He talks first, though. ]
Hi.
The two of us went to get water from the well, with the lighthouse keeper. Something was wrong, though. His reflection in the water was wrong, and he pushed us in. [ A beat. ] Or someone did, I guess.
Anyway, we found our way out through a gate, and then we found this place, like a small safe house. There were a lot of weird things down there, but maybe the weirdest was that someone had scratched “The Truth Bows to the Sun”, in the stone. There were a lot of names written there, too. I think, the names of the dead. But there was one that was repeated, and each time it was written differently. It was Matthias, and it said he was the master of the halls.
[ John glances at Kaneki then, before refocusing on the camera. ]
I guess we wondered if anyone else has come across…anything like that.
[ while John explains himself, the doll seems frozen, her expression withered, but suddenly she moves only to start singing in a very child-like voice. Kaneki looks back at her and sighs, before he finally addresses the elephant in the room. ] We have also found a doll.
[ Against better judgment-- ] I… took it along and I’m not entirely sure what to do with it to be honest. [ the doll speaks again “Where is my father?” and finally Kaneki turns to her with a soft expression. “I don’t know, I’m sorry”, but the haunted toy doesn’t seem to acknowledge that answer and simply goes quiet again ]
Any idea on what to do with it?
[ John leans briefly forward. ]
The guy who told me he worked with spirits? If you’re around, can you look at this thing? I swear it’s like the Bride of Chucky waiting to happen. [ Kaneki can be heard in the background muttering "She has been fine thus far." ]
( ooc; this is related to Kaneki's and John's plot roll. )

We saw a similar thing, written in Ellethia-Hamsour. The second stop we made, before coming here that is. Names, written on grave markers, with the same words alongside.
The Truth Bows to the Sun.

I was just told that it was a symbol of Ellethia. One of our group came across it on the Stairs of Sighs, though I am afraid that does not mean much to me. It was before my time here.

Although there are some of us who arrived previous to me, is what I mean to say. I was not there, for that leg of the journey. I am afraid I cannot say for certain what significance the Stair of Sighs holds, beyond that symbol also being found there.
