Interesting.
It is interesting to see Killian in his youth. I wonder what makes him so friendless as Marie claims. Finally, we get that meeting with Barc as we were promised (though it's in Somna after all instead of Orlan as Sir Talmid's page suggests). I wonder who [REDACTED] is going to be... Maybe, Talmid meets Jonna... when she's only days old! :P
Vladek's presence foreshadows no good thing... especially if we consider it's 3012 AF, a rather eventful year.
