does roxana know of my love for her....

im gonna find a funnier one

[He gives her a sort of helpless look, but... he nods]

...Sorry -- it's taking me a while to clear my head.

[but it is clearing, he thinks?]

I found out something else too. I used a gumball on Wednesday -- foresight. It was supposed to give me a premonition, but I didn't see anything until last night -- when I was asleep.

[ Oh, there's surprise. That's not a gumball she's heard of before. ]

You don't have to apologize. Take your time. What did you dream?

[He takes a deep breath, and his next few words are steadier.]

I was somewhere very cold, and I was tired. Another person was in front of me. I was talking to them, but I couldn't hear the words. The other person started transforming -- into a kind of monster. But it didn't look like the one Malik transformed into. ...They were really angry.

[he grimaces]

And then I woke up.

[ Her eyebrows knit. ]

I wonder... if you were looking at it from the perspective of someone last night? Or... how much of it is abstract and figurative.

.... That'll be helpful for tomorrow.

[ Maybe? ]

...Either way, we'll have to investigate the mountain.

[he wonders if it really helped -- they'd known that even without his premonition. did 'feeling cold' mean it took place in a cold place? or that there was an ice power involved, like November?]

I was wondering if it might have something to do with Crow, since he was found there. But it doesn't seem like he remembers anything.

It'd be too easy if he remembered. It wouldn't be much of a mystery.

[ Her voice is cold with her distaste. ]

But it's possible. We'll have to see what's found tomorrow. On the mountain and in the cemetery.

[he pauses for a moment, and slowly, as if reminding himself]

...Right. We have to, no matter what we'll find. For them, and for the ones who were forced to kill.
