And then he was one with Carter, looking up at the cloaked figure on the pedestal in the murky world beyond the Gates of the Silver Key. He begged for help, threw himself on the mercy of the nameless forces that had trapped him here.
In response, the figure moved, and started to draw back its cloak. Katzmarek shuddered, feeling Carter's fictional anguish.
And then it spoke.
It addressed him.
The voice was unexpectedly soothing, calming, which only frightened him the more.
But yet, there was something familiar about the voice. And so he gathered his nerve and forced himself to look upon the face that had been revealed.
"Take it easy, Bernard," the gentle voice told him.
He breathed.
He looked again.
And he smiled. He laughed. He wept.
It was Gina.
Everything would be all right.
