"This girl, Ky, your name was?" Myna crouched slightly to look Ky in the eye. "Child, you've nought to fear from me. I'll do no harm to you. But your head's all-abuzz with mischief and malice. Something's showing you what you shouldn't be seeing."

“Well I didn’t ask did any of this.” Ky stared at her with wide eyes, somehow both reassured while also not being comforted in the least to be talking to this woman who now knew her name. “How do I make it stop?”

She shrugged. "Not sure if it can. Got to find out, don't we? See if it's someone or if it's something, eh?"

"The Marrow Man isn't what this is." She shook her head. "This is different."

She stared at the woman. Did she know? How could she know? “…what is it, then?”

"You tell me." She shrugged. "Rules aren't what they were; you're bending them somehow, but I don't know why and where."

“I’m not trying to,” she insisted.

"Nobody said you were. But it's happening."
