    Summary

    Kingsley sighs. “Does it ever occur to you people just how bloody infuriating it is that every conversation I have with this group, I’ve got you all waiting for me to be someone other than myself? Do you have any idea what that’s like?”

    Essek laughs, just a little chuckle that seems to take him just as much by surprise as the rest of them. He quiets and fixes his cloak. “I do, actually,” he says.

    Summary

    He wonders if he has a life beyond today. He wonders if he has time to erase the chalk plans in his home before abandoning it forever. He wonders if he was the one who looked into the mirror, or the one who stepped out of it.

    — Essek and the Nein succeed in defeating the Somnovem, but their return to the Material Plane is a backwards trip out of Aeor. He is haunted by his memories, his guilt, the monsters around every corner, the threat of Trent Ikithon — and a shadow in his periphery that looks remarkably like himself. For Essek Thelyss, love and annihilation go hand-in-hand, until he learns otherwise.

    Summary

    “I get what you're trying to do,” Kingsley says. “But there's nothing you can do to make me more like Molly, or less like Lucien. I'm just me.”

    (In which Kingsley wakes up and discovers that he isn't his body's only occupant.)
