For thirty years I read this sky alone. These days, anyone picks up a brush.

For the first time in thirty years, another hand has touched the royal star. Whose money washed that hand clean, I still have no answer.

NahidNo answer is needed. If the reading was correct, that's the end of it.
JahangirDeciding what counts as correct has been my seat for thirty years, Chief Astronomer.
NahidThe sky doesn't care whose seat it is.
DariushChancellor, the night is long. Everyone should rest.

The Star Tower ObservatoryBEFORE THE THIRD CRESCENT

I've held this alidade for thirty years. What it means to read the sky with a broken half of an instrument, I still can't understand.

NahidWhat's broken is the instrument, not the eye.
JahangirThe question is who chose that eye.
SoroushChancellor, you left that behind in the scriptorium yesterday. I picked it up and put it back.
JahangirThe captain of the guard certainly wanders in and out of other people's rooms with ease.
SoroushThe door was open.

Left elsewhere

His Highness's star is not something to be read as a joke.

So the star tower has sunk all the way down to the marketplace.

It's hardly work for the crown prince to be tending lamps with his own hands.

One correct sentence is not enough to entrust her with the star tower.
