*turns back to TinMan*

I can tell you for free, the DeathBall is the last thing you want to go tinkering with. Don't go near that summoning spell.

Don't worry, there's no pain anymore.

*looks at Arachne* So did I, honey, don't worry.

*looks dubious, but turns aside from Tinman and lifts her top so only Annanagram can see her belly, crisscrossed with thick white scars* These concerns, little cat.

*looks back* Excuse a lady trying to preserve her modesty, Tin-Man

*shakes her head*

I was left here. I have no way of knowing what happened to her in level two. Or how she got sent back. Last thing I saw, she entered the door...

More than that, I can't tell you. I had pressing concerns of my own at that time.

*sighs and looks to Arachne*

*a slightly grim expression takes her face, her broad forehead creasing*

Arachne's memory... *sighs again* I can only guess. It's a long time since she was able to remember everything, you know. She forgot us for a year, and now she remembers us, she's forgotten you.

*holds out her hand for TinMan to take and kiss*

Charmed, I'm sure. *laughs and curtseys slightly*

*stands to face the man, unperturbed*

I'm Semolina. I'm here to watch over my friend here.

*laughs softly*

I'm not a ghost - don't you worry about me.

*melts out from the wall*

*crouches by Arachne*

The Deathball didn't do for all of them, sweeite. This level is full of dangers.

*nods, becoming quite hazy and difficult to see in the shadows of the forest*

I'm sorry, Arachne.

*gradually becomes hazier until it's impossible to see her against the shadows*

Of course I listened.

*shakes her head*

I'm sorry, Arachne, honey. It's just me left. It's been a year. And, as far as I can tell, the rest of it was true too.

*looks at the tree annanagram is hiding in, an amused twinkle in her eye*

It looks like you've annoyed someone. You always did have a talent for that.

I know, I know. And it's almost true.

*holds her at arms length and looks at her*

You've changed so much!

Hey, we aren't all gone, honey.

*steps out from behind a tree*
