The Structure of Folio Three

Dearest readers,

My father kept five folios containing letters from Amkzí, all of them hand-bound using soft daraiga hide covers. I remember watching him peruse them as a child. He remained obsessed with Amkzí long after she ceased contacting him; I owe the majority of the supplemental research to him. We have now completed the first two, and it falls to me to provide some more information about the texts now that you have familiarized yourself with their structure.

The first two folios, as we have seen, each contain one letter and very few annotations. The media coverage of Eràsis increased as she aged, so he could not compare as much of the earlier material to the available media records.

The third folio contains a unique structure. It is the thickest of my father's volumes and contains three long letters from Amkzí. My father annotated this volume heavily, and it shows more wear than the others. I imagine he bound these letters together for convenience.

The first letter, which I call Eràsis.1908 in my notes, dicsusses events happening in the singer's life at the age of twelve. The second, Eràsis.1910, jumps forward two years. The final letter in Folio 3, Eràsis.1913, combines some description of her higher education with the founding of the band Tapestry.

The early folios puzzled me when I first read them. Many of the events seem insignificant and, quite frankly, they read like Amkzí does not understand proper narrative flow or comprehend that things can be omitted.

All of these misgivings changed at the end of Folio 2.

I suspect that she wanted to set things up so we could identify the antagonists and the allies in her life. It all comes down to that little bottle of ukarsevei. I will leave the rest to your analysis.

Solidarity, friends,
