“But Doctor, I’ve seen that Louis XVI handkerchief!”
“Yes, Tegan, I got my souvenirs back. My comforting trinkets.”
“How?”
“We materialized in the castle and freed two more prisoners, then located a storeroom full of our stolen possessions. My friends returned most of it to the bereaved families.”
“And your captors?”
“Most were asleep. We had to lock a few in the storeroom.”
“You took no revenge?”
“No revenge. Carti wanted to execute them but we hadn’t endured two years in hell to become devils ourselves. We rejected that transformation. We were free. We made it home. That was enough.”
