This is Inquisitor Trevelyan.

[ Not that she's able to do any inquisiting here, but the title has long since stuck to her, despite Cecily's original complaints. ]

Dorian Pavus has gone, if you knew him, and--... it all makes me wonder, really, what the patterns are with the disappearances. A handful of our people have gone and not come back. Dorian came back, but without his memories of his time here. I came back with my memories. Has anyone been able to figure out any sort of method to it all?

It could be that the Door is just choosing without meaning, but it does seem that it can be more cruel to some than others, doesn't it?

[It's probably better that people go home, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.]

Maybe it is crueler. Maybe it's afraid of you.

No one should be afraid of me; I'm a fucking idiot.

[ If only Corypheus had realized!! ]

[Give him a moment to process that.]

Why?

Cole, I know you don't know me, but... take my word on this one thing.

[ She just is. Worse, she's terribly stubborn. ]

No. [Sorry, Cecily, but he's not sorry for that.] You aren't. Why do you think you are?

Would you really like for me to regale you with every stupid thing I've done since becoming Inquisitor? It might take a while.

If it helps. There's time.

It doesn't help; that's why I said I wouldn't tell you.

[ She sighs shortly. ]

I'm sorry, Cole. Maybe another day.

Oh. Sorry. [He tried.]

He wouldn't want you to stay sad.

I know. [ ... ] I'll move past this soon.

[ On the outside... ]

Will you?

Of course.

[ No. ]

[Cecily :| ]

It won't be real, though.

Oh, hush. It will be real enough for my purposes.

Will it?

Yes.

[ Probably. ]

[He still doesn't think so, but there's no point in arguing.]

Alright. Maybe it will be.
