Sharpe’s Bizarre Blade Bazaar Item #303c: “Cutlass of Comprehension”
Price: 2102 sols

We are, all of us, alone. Ultimately unable to hear the true inner voice of anyone else, no matter how much they may say or do, we are forever forced to know and to comprehend only ourselves, and imperfectly at that. At least that was the case until the Cutlass of Comprehension! Forged by Heartbeard the Pirate from rare soul silver captured from an inbound galleon, the Cutlass of Comprehension immediately unites in mutual understanding any two who touch it. Used for decades as a psychologist’s tool, an unfortunate bankruptcy has brought it here, where it can be yours at a shockingly low pawnbroker’s rate!

Kastane’s Note:
I’m pretty sure the psychologist had to pawn it because mutual understanding is so terrifying that it makes people want to run for the hills and never see each other again. Like me, for example. I have accidentally brushed the cutlass while Sharpe was holding it. And Flyssa. And Billao. And I never want to see any of them again.
