📂 Restricted File 12-F

Incidents involving turnips, delicate humidity, and unauthorized activities in the cool pantry.

This file remains partially classified.

Several documents were lost.
Others were burned.
And some… are better left unmentioned.

The Department of Applied Freshness Studies confirms only one thing:

“Excessive ventilation also carries risks.”

The remaining information remains in Gregorius’ custody.

Certificate of the Ancient Archives

From time to time, the Ancient Archives issue a certificate to those who have discovered a story where everyone else saw only dust.

If this certificate has found its way into your hands, you are welcome to keep it.

The documents of the Ancient Archives keep their magic only as long as someone continues to imagine.

📜 UNNECESSARY APPENDIX No. 7

Official Protocol for the Spontaneous Appearance of a Potato with a Face.

(Internal document of Sister Patata’s Convent. Reading during meals is strictly prohibited.)

Article 1

If a potato stares directly at you…

DO NOT STARE BACK.

The situation could be interpreted as a challenge.

🥔👀

Article 2

If the potato smiles…

back away slowly.

No sudden movements.

Do not sing.

Do not attempt to make mashed potatoes.

Article 3

If the potato says your name…

it is strictly forbidden to answer.

It already knows far too much.

Article 4

If a second potato wearing glasses appears…

leave the premises immediately.

The meeting has already begun.

Article 5

Never feed a mystical potato after midnight.

Not because anything bad will happen.

It just won’t stop talking.

Final Note from the Convent Archives

“The Order of Sister Patata continues to investigate the events that took place in the pantry during the winter of 1843. Officially, there was never an assembly of tubers. Unofficially… no one has entered the pantry since.”

⚠️ This appendix is entirely unnecessary. That is precisely why it has been preserved for centuries.
