As Julia is brushing Sylvia's hair she talks to her about the importance of going to school and reading but Sylvia says that those things aren't necessary because Hugo has knows everything thanks to a book about black magic. She also tells Julia that Hugo was the son of a black magic sorcerer who before dying learned of a way to revive after a thousand years but he had to make sure that his son would take care of the book until his revival so he made hugo hold the book and turned him into stone.
During their conversation while Julia is brushing Sylvia's hair, they discuss the importance of education and literature, but Sylvia counters that these are not necessary because Hugo has acquired all knowledge through a magical book. She also shares that Hugo was the son of a sorcerer who, before passing away, discovered a way to revive after 1,000 years, so he entrusted his son with safeguarding the book until his resurrection.
