Ikkyu’s Journal 10

Well seems like my plan worked. I ventured out and my vision has expanded. So rapidly. After meeting her – the river woman. I can understand more, much much more, maybe too much. The first part of my plan worked. Ikkyu has stopped ricocheting around and has stabilised. At least for the moment. I’m glad…
