>"What was Layla like, anyway? If you don't mind me asking."

>"She was very nice," says Lunasa. "And very devoted. She, um, wouldn't leave the house, even after everyone else did. It's just, she had a very strong will."

>"My apologies. I suppose I haven't given much context to my questions. It's just, I'd like to be able to understand a little more of what it's like to be a young poltergeist, new to the world. You said you didn't remember a lot about that time. I'm just trying to think of what the environment would have been like."
>"You see, this poltergeist is very young. She may be a couple months old, at most. She was obviously born instinctively knowing a nice few things, but some of what she knows is... let us say that most people would consider it to be literally wrong. Yet she believes it utterly, because this is the knowledge she came into the world knowing. Thus, I wondered what it may have been like for others who had experienced at least part of this, themselves."

She nods. "Yeah. It's just, I kinda don't buy it. But it's not important, so I don't worry about it either way."
