Delita had set down the PDA as soon as he had hung up without sparing it a second thought. It was becoming more and more apparent that the Lucavi were not as slain as he had hoped; they must have caught wind of his betrayal and summoned the visage of his sister's spirit to torment him. It seemed bizarre, but if even his own wife could betray him, no one could be trusted. No threat could be discounted, no matter how implausible.

And besides that, what was the alternative? That his dead sister was somehow not only alive, but regressed to six years old? Nothing could be more foolish.

Yet none of this did anything to half the sudden freezing sensation in his chest as he saw what seemed to be a perfect imitation of Teta at six years of age running towards him with all the innocence of youth. If this was an illusion, it was damned convincing. He could not help but gasp as she tripped and, heedless of his mind's demands, sprang to his feet and ran to her side.

"Are... Are you alright?"

...So Teta cried when she fell. A little. She was a big girl, and Delita always worried when she cried so she had always made a decent attempt to keep herself quiet...

But with everything that she had heard big-Delita say before...All it had done was make the scraped knee hurt worse, and the tears start to fall out of her eyes and down her cheeks, just as they always did whenever she so much as scraped something too hard, or when someone looked at her too harshly. Delita was always there to comfort her when she cried...

She looked up when she heard the voice, brown eyes wide and staring, tear-stained cheeks glistening in the sunlight.

...Was that...?

...No, that couldn't be! He was so big! Delita was big, but he wasn't that big! He looked ( ... )

Delita stared at the girl silently, his mind taking in every feature. It was Teta, there was no denying that. Yet what fevered dream could conjure a hallucination so vivid? Perhaps Ovelia's dagger had found its mark after all, and this whole trip nothing more than some strange purgatory...

He cast such thoughts aside for the moment, focusing on the moment at hand. "Let us put aside your identity for the moment; I need answers. Where is this place, and what is happening? Do you know who sent me this ticket?"

The young girl blinked her bleary eyes at him, and then blinked again.

What was...going on? Teta didn't know herself. At least, she didn't know right now. If she focused she could remember people and things, but that was only if she concentrated. It was strange.

She knew that something wasn't quite right, but she couldn't put her finger on it...

She stared at him a moment, and then looked down, trying to think.

"Um. Um. I...I think it is um. The man who runs this place. I...know not his name, though. I was told that, um...I was going to have a 'transfur'. And then...I would receive a 'second chance'. I do not know what they meant by that though."
