This is the remnants of the egg Virlain hatched out of, each piece carefully saved, fitted back together, and kept in their bag. It has an odd triangular pattern to its surface, which Virlain has always found fascinating and mysterious, as most other eggs they had seen had just random splotches. While at first the egg was kept for sentimental reasons, Virlain projected their daydreams of freedom and adventure on the egg, fantasizing that the curious pattern on the shell was an indicator of a higher destiny. Despite being embarrassed over these childish daydreams, Virlain keeps the egg shell safe, carrying it with them always.

Love the backstory to it <3
I get how they feel about being embarrassed about childhood daydreams but still holding the memory close.
