Shadow, Slender, non-class, non-level

Really? Is that a present from the shapeshifter? I need to figure out what to do. It’s hiding in the shadows, it’s almost imperceivable, and it doesn’t even have a level. What if…

Sam walks into the room flanked by Alice and another couple of doctors. Slender is gone, almost as if he was never there to begin with. I’m the only one who saw him.

Alice and Sam ask me hundreds of different questions, suggesting a variety of situations. The rest of the doctors just stand off to the side. As their eyes follow the lines on an invisible interface, I see their mouths moving soundlessly. Their emotions show strong surprise; Sam is calm and collected. Alice, still afraid of me, just asks the rare trick question.

After being grilled for three hours, we chat for a couple more, meandering across a number of subjects. We go through the Lüscher color test and a variety of others invented by well-known psychologists. I remember most of them from when I was little, so I’m able to give them the answers they’re looking to hear.

Finally, I’m left alone with some food. Slender continues watching, occasionally scratching at the window. He doesn’t like being far away. Also, he hates the fact that I’m enjoying my meal.

It’s easier for me to study his abilities while he’s in material form. For instance, he’s an empath who senses emotions at least as well as I do. He’s strong enough to scratch at the glass before instantly disappearing into the form of a shadow. In that form, his speed is far beyond that of a normal human. It takes me a good half a minute to get up to fifty meters a second; it takes him less than a second. His top speed must be higher, too.

An hour later, Sam Walton returns. Judging by his satisfied face and the lack of guards, he has good news.

“Congratulations! From a psychological point of view, you’re completely healthy.”

My inventory and equipment immediately switch to what I had with and on me the day of the battle at Airis Castle.

The doctor’s face expands, eyes rounding.

“Sagie. You’re Sagie! Bloody Sagie!”

The name above my head is glowing bright red. Even somebody like Sam, living as he does at the edge of the civilized world, has heard about me. Better leave before they lock me up.

“Thanks. I’ll see myself out.”

The alarm sounds even before I leave the room, the sirens almost deafening me. I have to run in stealth mode, hiding from the staff as they scour the clinic. The first floor and all the exits are blocked by orderlies. Instead, I have to jump off the balcony on the second floor, quietly landing on the soft grass. The antiportal field is up and running, so they don’t think I’m going to leave through a portal.

After grabbing the clothes I filched, I head off for my meeting with Femida.
