**Fae Facts:** The use of a wedding ring has long been part of religious weddings in Europe and America, but the origin of the tradition is unclear. One possibility is the Roman belief in the Vena amoris, which was believed to be a blood vessel that ran from the fourth finger (ring finger) directly to the heart. Thus, when a couple wore rings on this finger, their hearts were connected. The white wedding dress and veil that are common today in western society originated with Queen Victoria.

**Discussion Topics for Tomorrow, OVA 2-1**
If you are watching on Crunchyroll, you’ll want “Season 36” to watch along!
A note from me regarding OVA 2: Unlike OVA 1, the story takes place between this season and the upcoming season. It is primarily a side-story which, although Chise and Elias and the others do appear in, focuses more on a different character and their experiences in the magical world. I do think it is well worth watching, but want you all to know what you are getting into.
\[Question 1\]>!Do you feel that being a normal human makes Gabriel a more relatable protagonist than Chise?!<
