Cynthia had wandered to the woods wanting answers regarding the Bie she and many others had been seeing as of late. This bie was so strange with their various types of arms and strange cloak over their whole body. As she wondered to the woods she saw a signpost with multiple threads stuck to it. They wandered over to it and saw a large poem written down with a line corresponding to each thread stuck to the post. 

Cynthia read over the post a few times making sure she understood each colors meaning. She had considered a few of the colors, but decided to go with the red string. As they touched it the string wrapped around her left paw. She then slowly began to wander further into the forest following the thread, as she went she quickly realized it would be a while before she reached wherever she would go. It had taken a few hours, but she reached a group of ruined abandoned houses. 

Cynthia looked at each house seeing how torn apart they looked, how they each crumbled apart more and more, and how much the land had taken back. Chicadee noticed that the string seemed to pull her towards 3 houses. She glimpses into the blue roofed home seeing a simple bachelor pad with juice bottles littered about the rubble. She took a step into the red house seeing it was once a family home with multiple rooms, as she left she nearly tripped over the crackling floorboards. Finally she meandered to the pink roofed home, it was a lovers' den, filled with heart shaped furnishings. 

The string tugged her deeper into the home leading them to search around. As Chica looked around she felt something under her foot, looking below they found a book. Chica grabbed it carefully since the clasp had broken due to her stepping on it, and took a moment to study the cover. As Cynthia studied the book the red string coiled around the book and Chica heard panting behind them. Cynthia whipped around to look behind them hoping to deal with whatever was panting behind her, but instead they found nothing. 

After taking a moment to look all around Chicadee looked back to the book immediately hearing the panting once again even as they looked again, nothing could be seen. Chicadee then noticed a poem on the wall, they decided to read it aloud after which the panting presence seemed to finally leave. Finally feeling a little but at ease once again Chica settles on the dusty floor opening the book to finally read it as the red string clearly wanted, She opened it seeing the line "To the one my stitches sing and my very soul aches for, Vanessa". It was so strange, to see some random book have her lover's name in it. 

Suddenly more words spill out across the pages, words Cynthia had seen and heard before from Vanny herself. The book was full of memories both written and in picture form from the years Cynthia and Vanessa had spent back before Vanny was a bie. So many memories and words shared from various dates and gentle moments between them. There were paragraphs and paragraphs of things that Vanny wanted to say after her death, before her necrogeist rebirth, about how much she missed Chica and how much she wanted to hold them again. Chica was in tears as she read how Vanny watched her up until they gained contact for the rebirth process. 

By the end of the book Cynthia was crying tears filled with overflowing joy and love. With the tome read Cynthia finally takes a look around her surroundings finally realizing the mysterious bie standing above them. The bie smiles and says "After all, this Street was founded on love, by love. We too can make the world better, can we not?" As the bie speaks her limerence the red string shines and coils around Cynthia joining with her stitching.
