Sabine had remained seated as Meesei opened the book. She flinched, expecting a similar effect to the first time it was opened. When nothing seemed to happen and Meesei cut off her speech, Sabine had not realised what had happened immediately.

"With all the risk, are you sure you want to try now?"

Meesei did not so much as look at her. A hint of fear crept up Sabine's neck.

"Meesei?" Sabine lifted herself to her knees and then to her feet. "Meesei, are you okay-" Sabine's eyes bulged when her hand passed right through Meesei's arm. In a panic, Sabine reached for Meesei's face and only felt air.

"Meesei!" Sabine snatched at the book to try and throw it away. There seemed to be nothing she could grab anymore.

If Sabine's shout had not already grabbed their attention, her teary face appearing as she ran to the others in camp certainly did. Janius and Gallus stood up, as did Gallus' guide, Cuts-Canes-Faster.

"What has happened?!" Janius asked.

Sabine found a gap in her panicked sobbing to respond. "Meesei, she...the book. She opened the book!"
