Summary
Dimitri doesn’t come back from Duscur. A double who has replaced him does instead. Nobody seems to notice this except Felix. Or perhaps it is that nobody else but Felix wishes to notice it. When he points to the double and whispers into his father’s ear, “But that’s not Dimitri” – all his father does is close his eyes and sigh.
Felix knows it isn’t Dimitri because Dimitri’s eyes are a brighter blue than that. And Dimitri’s hair is a more golden shade of blond. But of course the most damning fact is that looking at this double does not make Felix want to smile; if anything, looking at him does not make Felix feel anything at all.
The absence of emotion abruptly morphs into fear and foreboding. A terrible mistake has been made, Felix thinks to himself. Dimitri is still waiting in Duscur to be saved.
“It’s not him,” Felix says, more urgently this time. He tugs at his father’s sleeve which he knows his father dislikes – but it’s urgent.
His father replies, “Felix. Allow a miracle to be a miracle. Please.”
So Felix bites his tongue. But he does not change his mind.
