"If I see them again, I think it will be in the world beyond dream or waking, and I don't plan to go there just yet. But perhaps one day we shall be reunited."
"So it is always with those we have loved and lost." I say, smiling faintly. "But we shall see them again, I think. When the time comes for all of us to pass beyond that veil, before we are reborn into our new bodies, I think that we will see all of those dear to us again. You will see your children and your husband again, Yuanjung. Of this I am sure."
Yuanjung reaches out, and she touches my hand. And in her touch is some comfort in her touch that I must smile. "I am frightened too, Miao. I wish I knew more about where this would lead. It's why I need to find a way back to my old state. I have so little power like this, and I can't protect the town the way I have done before. I've tried to talk to Wanda a little. I hope it has helped. But some people just don't want to be saved."
"Tezcatlipoca told me that she had been destroyed." I say, and my voice shakes slightly. "I hope...I hope that this has not been true. But after speaking to her, I came away with the idea that she believes she cannot live without him...and what can we do, in that case?"
