I do not speak, and after a while watching me with that same depthless, unwavering calm, Nikolaos Megalos gets up. He unlocks my handcuffs, because he knows that whatever else happens now, he doesn’t need them any more. After a while, with something like regret, he says: "I will send Adrasteia to bring you to her home. Meditate upon what I have said, but be quick. We must begin soon, while the world is still in flux. Search your soul."
