For a few moments, all the sensory input disorients me.

“That was something else,” I say to Frederick, and it feels great to be saying things out loud, with my voice echoing off the room’s walls.

He nods. “It’s something few people ever get to experience.”

“How did you manage to have us come back here?” I ask, realizing this is the second time his Nirvana-phasing worked differently from mine. “How come we didn’t end up in the real world?”

“It’s part of those Nirvana arts you’ll learn if you come back and accept the offer we’ve made.” He gives me a smug wink.

I frown at him. “Why didn’t you try Assimilating the very first time you pulled me in? Wouldn’t it have been just as helpful as Guiding me in terms of uncovering my agenda?”

He shakes his head. “No, that would’ve been a bad idea, as it would’ve put us at risk.”

“Why?”

“Because if I had ambushed you, you might have tried to fight me, or absorb me, so to speak.” His expression is now serious. “If you had succeeded, you would’ve made me Inert, and you know how I feel about that. Anyway, the more likely outcome would have been me making you Inert in self-defense—another outcome I didn’t desire.”

“It’s interesting how you omitted that going Inert was a possibility when doing this Assimilation thing,” I say, narrowing my eyes.

“Because it wasn’t, not when I didn’t have any intention of doing such a thing to you. If anything, I was putting myself at risk, given that for me, going Inert carries greater consequences.”

“You know what I mean.” I hand him back his gun. “But no point in splitting hairs anymore. I fulfilled my end of the bargain.”

“I am ready to do as I promised,” he says, taking the gun. “I shall take you to the library so you can wait while I speak with George, Kate, and the rest of the team. After that, I will end the Session early, as promised.”
