The Chief Eunuch

I've carried this box for thirty years. The weight never changes, and yet some days my wrist aches more than others.

• HallokTell me which days it ached. I'll enter them in the record.
  The Chief EunuchThose are the days this one doesn't write down either.
• The Queen DowagerYou've held that post for a remarkably long time, Chief Eunuch.
  The Chief EunuchA post like mine isn't held. It's endured.

On windy days I climb all the way up here. No one ever asks me what I've seen, not up here.

• EliasAnd if someone did ask?
  The Chief EunuchThen this one would say his old eyes had gone too dim to see anything at all.
• YeonhwaIsn't it frightening up there?
