Title

Points, Expressions, and Questions

Description

Transcription of a hand written page containing three lists (Points, Expressions, and Questions). Presumably, Points is possible plot points or details concerning the characters as well as worldbuilding; Expressions is a list of possible expressions, sometimes assigned to specific characters, other times not; and Questions seems to be a mix of questions pertaining to character details and real life information AMM has for presumably historical accuracy and world building purposes.
