“You’re wrong! You’re being cheated! You’re being used! I know!”

-Rosalind Gennari

Hilda searches for a mirror to call out Rosalind Gennari, the woman that haunts the glass, and demands to know where the couple obtained enough knowledge to revive the dead. Rosalind replies that she gained plenty of it from Hilda’s tales about her work, about all the different types of magic and monsters that she encountered. Also she and her husband hasn’t brought Isaac back to life. Not yet. Nil is an imposter that ruined their first attempt to do so and killed her in the process. Hilda begs her friend to stop what she’s doing and not become any more of a monster than she already is. 

Elsewhere in the neighborhood Nil makes a deal with a small girl’s spirit clinging to a music box. He hunts down a large, misshapen monster born from Ebner’s experiments with the second Infernal Machine and corpses that still had souls attached to them. In gratitude the girl shows him the building that holds Rebecca Ansolm and people who ceased to wake at all when their dreams were stolen once too often. A freezing room is being made ready for them.
