[The three people per visit rule means that even though Anne is present in the car ride for almost every single visit made to Riley’s own personal Tower of London, and hasn’t been in to see her yet. Riley probably knows about that through whatever pained expressions her guests may have (Anna von Kleve loves car-karaoke) — also from some of the letters that Anna has penned from the back seat of the car and sent off immediately after.

Her letters are a little hard to read— she has old timey penmanship. But they include candid photos of her new life, doodles of Tad Cooper, and clippings of announcements and reviews for her show. Letters had been the only way she had to communicate with her family, a lifetime ago—- so Anna’s well versed in them, and she writes so many that it may be slightly absurd. But Anna doesn’t want Riley to feel forgotten, or alone, so she keeps writing— even if half of it is unreadable, and sometimes, if she’s not paying attention, pages are literally written in German.

Eventually, though, it’s Anna’s turn to claim one of the prized visiting spots. As someone goes to let Riley know her aunt’s there for a visit, Anna sits in the visiting room and pouts at the loss of her crown, which they made her remove for the visit. The pouts quickly gone when she sees Riley enter the room though, and she beams.]


Meph was right—- it is nicer than the Tower in here!
