You wander the city’s bridges and squares, then pause to gaze at a row of gondolas bobbing in the seawater surrounding the city. The Black Cat hops in one and is ferried away. You approach another, but the Gondolier stops you: “I need payment first.” You offer her your golden stone. “My bones are the only stones I need.” You offer her your shiny fish. “Fish and food are no good to me.” You turn away, wondering how you will follow the Cat. A woman peddling candies, flowers, and gilt paper catches your arm. “O, dearie! You need to reach a loved one, don’t ye? Try this.” She gives you a bit of golden paper folded into a boat-like shape.
