[It's a relief to explain this to Justice and not have to define every other word she means. Living among non-Thedosians can be such a hassle in that respect. She shakes her head, expression grim.]

Fuck if I know. It's not like I was an expert in Fade-stuff before, anyway. I was just the dwarf who kept getting tossed into it.

We're not entirely alone, though. Most of the people here are from other worlds and have no idea what I'm talking about, but there are two who aren't. Cecily Trevelyan is some Marcher noble who's from a decade ahead of us. Same with Cole. He's like you, a spirit in a human body, only he's all about compassion instead of justice but that's not his name? I dunno, I don't pretend to get it.
