[she grimaces, wishing she didn't have to explain but willing to, at least] Those things--the angels. Those...shadow things. That was the noise under the floor, back before that mess started. Their fingernails. [she shudders] And in my nightmare, I saw white wings and mirrors showing people from the Plane. Miwa, it wasn't just some...trick from this place to drive me mad. It was a warning.

[but she wishes Jacqli hadn't put it like that. prophecy isn't usually something detectives go in for, after all. she hates being associated with it, even if it's true. but she swallows hard and nods] Yeah. I...guess I am.

[quickly, she adds:] But who knows, maybe it won't be real this time. Maybe nothing will 'appen and everyone here will think I'm paranoid. [she tries for a smirk, but it's weak. in some ways, she thinks that would be a better outcome than the alternative--being right and everyone knowing that she knew in advance] We'll 'ave to wait and see. But either way, I mean to be ready.
