Hey. Hey. [ Her voice is placating, and she slides her hand down into his, knits her fingers between his. ] I believe you. If anyone in this whole stupid world believes you, it's me. Just tell me what you saw, what was the shadow of?

[ Her eyes are wide; she squeezes his hand. She has long believed that Thorne opened doors that couldn't be closed, and she believes they did it by mistake, in the beginning. That they were just throwing shit at the wall to see what stuck. She believes that the more they summon, the more strain they're putting on the Singularity, and she believes it goes both ways. That those Summoned amongst them who are searching for a way back are equally as guilty.

And she absolutely believes that, whatever this weird, breakaway cult of a cult was trying to achieve, all they succeeded in doing is breaking walls down further. ]

I think those places we saw are related to the gods, somehow. That's all I mean. Did the others see the same thing? The shadow?
