Thane knocked on our front door later that night. I followed Thane and Dad into the living room. Dad sat beside me on the couch, crossing his arms and watching Thane with a frosty glare. Thane ignored him, sitting on the edge of the coffee table and turning his attention to me.

“You failed to escape your dream last night,” Thane started.

“This is how you want to begin?” Dad asked. “By chastising her?”

“I’m merely trying to demonstrate why she needs my help.”

“She’s sitting here, isn’t she?” Dad growled. “You want to help? Give her some useful advice.”

Thane pursed his lips. “Very well.” He turned back to me, scowling. “Were you at least able to manage a lucid dream?”

“Yes,” I murmured.

“Thane,” Dad said, leaning forward. “If you can’t speak to her politely, this lesson is over.”

Thane’s eyes tightened. He cleared his throat. “What did you do?” he asked me. “If you don’t mind my asking?”

Dad sat back, mollified. I took a deep breath, and told him about the dirt, how I’d tried to dig down for the water like Karayan had done.

Thane stiffened. “Are you telling me,” he said quietly. “That you actually witnessed another Lilitu accessing the larger dream world and you still can’t do it?”

Shame washed over me. Before I could stammer out a response, Dad was on his feet.

“That’s it. Lesson’s over,” he said.

“Yes, it is,” Thane said, standing. “I can’t help her until she finds a way out of her own dream. I trust you’ll let me know if she ever succeeds.”

“I tried,” I said.

Thane turned to me. “Try harder. We’re running out of time.”
