(narrating) I was to discover, upon my release from the hospital, that there were others who were also curious about the strange girl called Cilia.

Raymond, I've stayed away too long. I feel so weak.
You needn't fear my husband. I'm not going home. My home is with you as it shall always be.
You've found your home, but I am still hopelessly lost.
