“It was all a false trail,” I say numbly, setting the datapad on the bed. “Lorcan’s trauma, what Lens saw, your death…it all has nothing to do with Canopus, or the angry girl, or why I can’t contact the other emanations.”
“I’m not so sure of that. I have an explanation for why Lens and Lorcan were behaving strangely. And Sloane. He was sent to me the night I died. I think it was Ash’s way of comforting me. Sloane said he wanted to make a fresh start.”
“I remembered that. Yes, that makes sense now. Sloane’s behavior is explicable.”
“But Driscoll was still behaving strangely. And then about every emanation after I died until Quennel. That would be Patrick, Wynne, Valentin, Suibhne and Davy. Davy even fell asleep.”
“I remember that also, but I have no idea how it could happen.”
Tara flips through her datapad. “Here’s the journal entry. Maybe it will help.”
