The devil makes a few gestures and says something indistinguishable. Both he and you seem to be enclosed in an invisible ring. – The outside world shines through dimly, its sounds are barely audible. "A modest precaution. Others should not hear what I have to say. I have news of someone you know, young Kanerah and Kalikke. One of them is in great danger – and they both share a single fate. They must have told you by now of the soul eater who killed Kanerah. I should imagine that by disclosing their secret and true names to you, the poor children deprived Kanerah of protection from this deadly foe. The soul eater has picked up her scent, and will soon be here. You will need my help to deal with it."
