It is interesting — and indeed, telling — that Rose seems to take Norah's freedom of movement as a bad thing. As something that should disturb Norah herself, perhaps. The question, though, can only make her chuckle dryly.

"Certainly not," she says, "though I did chance to meet a self-described exorcist. That was surprising." She gives Rose a look, as if to tell her not to get any ideas. "He was only interested in sharing his company, and bringing me music to listen to. It got quite dull and lonely before I found myself able to move freely. Which I accomplished by pure accident. I had not been able to leave, and then I simply left. It was a bit overwhelming, but has made things much pleasanter for me in the long run. I take it that is not something you expected to hear?" She raises an eyebrow, halfway challenging the girl to make more wild guesses as to the details of her existence.
