Karl's mum: Sean, would you mind if you go to your room?
Sean went up to his room and Karl is now alone with his parents and his sister.
Karl: You know all this? Why didn't to tell me?
Karl's dad: Karl, we decided that we should tell you as soon as you come of age. Even Corry didn't know she was a Spirit until she turned 16.
Karl: Why do you even want to keep this from me? 
Karl's mum: There's a reason Human-borns like us have to let you know you were a Spirit at 16. You need to be old enough to know.
Corry: But look, you're not the only Spirit in this family. I learned that I was a Spirit and I was as shocked as you are. Now I'm in my 3rd Year in Aelfsiden.
Karl: Really?
