Overseas in Kachee, at one of George Kabob's homes, he thinks thoughts with overwhelming, sitting near a window on one of his chairs alone. The room is luxurious, finely crafted stone walls, pearls glitter throughout. Everything is top quality. George is no more than drunken water, yet his obsession is over 300 years long. He thinks, Cora, Cora, Cora Ninata, the beloved of Pedro, the prince of Dehi, who gave up his birthright to love you for all this time. I jumped in a cold, cold sea after you. But no, no, there's never enough time, no matter how much I look back, not enough to save you. She was already lifeless and gone. The prophet said, the prophet said, she'd walk again. These parts may take centuries. You come directly to me. Once I knew this, I knew I never had to let you go. He frowns and continues. Lo and behold, here you are, so fresh and new. I have palaces, fields, and wealth for all lifetimes. All I long for is your sweetness beside it. Now, now, you back. Without a moment's notice, Ron can snatch you back from any part of the world. And soon I will know if this time apart brung back your memory, or if I will have to myself. He rises and sits angrily as tears begin to flow from his eyes. He slowly lowers his head. Ron and Hines stare at him from the hall.
