His mother was a Muse. She didn't mean to leave.
Muses can't carry ordinary things where they're going. So he found it in a drawer.
A carnival token. Good for $1.00 in merchandise. Worn smooth. Initials: G.J.M. — whoever that was.
Maybe she'd forgotten it was there. Maybe the carousel had been a good day. Maybe it was the only ordinary thing she ever owned.
He kept it. He wore it into Hadestown.
The Playbill called it an Easter egg. We call it sterling silver.
