Trivia

• The contents of the Letter from Mercedes are as follows:

Dear Zeph,

I hope this letter finds you in good health.

It's been eight years since that day.

It's me, Mercedes. Do you still remember me?

I'm a librarian at the Royal Academy.

I spend every day surrounded by books. It's like a dream come true!

I may have moved away from Clearbrook...

But I've always wanted to see your dream come true.

I'm sure you're an amazing apothecary by now.

Whenever I catch a cold, I always think about going to you for a diagnosis.

I can't believe eight years have passed already.

All this time, there's something that I've been meaning to tell you...

I miss you, Zeph.

There are so many books I want to tell you about.

If I ever go back to Clearbrook...

I'd like to read them together.

— Mercedes
