Cate sighed, the Space Sissy had so many questions and ideas on the lesson, who didn't? But no two people received the same lesson, despite hearing the same story.

In her deepest most private thoughts, Cate questioned why Siran would start the Space Sissy with the Red Empress. The Red Empress was the most difficult to relate to and understand. Her sisters, Black and White were very straightforward and Cate held a special admiration for the genius of the Black Empress. Why not start a neophyte there> Perhaps the story of when the Black Empress chose her Emperor, that was a good lesson and one Cate carried in her heart since she first read it so long ago.

Cate had no answers to the Space Sissy's questions. Outside of this instance, she had never heard a story about the Daughter that left before. Other stories of the Red Empress sometimes referenced a favorite daughter, but Cate supposed if the initial favorite daughter left the Kingdom, then the Empress simply found a new favorite. But then, she didn't know, the customs of the Red Kingdom were bizarre to say the least, the Red Empress may have committed suicide for her loss for all Cate knew.

As the Space Sissy continued with his questions, Cate wondered if he was trying to prove his intelligence by being inquisitive or if he was genuinely trying to understand.

Perhaps she could help him find the meaning, Her note paper was full on one side so she turned it over and read
"We should do something/Cause a riot..."

Smiling at Tommy Wish's charming note, she crossed out his words to her and wrote beneath:

BLOOD IS RED
HEART IS RED
RED = HEART

And she circled RED = HEART.

Her advice was a bit of insight Cate believed she had during earliest years studying the Wisdom of Siran. It had come to help her understand some of the mysteries of the Red Empress when she needed to. If the Space Sissy was so smart, he would figure it out.
