[An hour before dawn, Horst's PCD clicks on. He's in the very small, windowless space he calls a room, but he's grinning. His voice is barely above a whisper, since this room--like the one in the church--is connected to Johannes's.]

Greetings, gentle viewers. I hope you haven't forgotten the previous lessons in the care and feeding of a necromancer. Tutorials resume soon.

It could have been worse.

[He gets the feeling it could've gone much much worse, actually.]

You never did tell me what he is capable of doing.

[You have no idea. He could have given into his homicidal wants and murdered him on the spot. But he resisted. Be proud, Horst.]

You'd have to ask Zack. He's different now than when I fought him.

How do you know?

Didn't I explain this to you before? Don't tell me your memory is that bad.

I'm asking for specifics. How does he, ah, destroy everything?

And yes. It is that bad.

He set my entire village on fire. That specific enough for you?

[Horst's expression softens, because he didn't mean it like that. Or he did, but he hates that he had to ask.]

I wish, just once, the Animus could bring us Freud instead of psychopaths.

If I think too hard about what they're doing up there whilst watching us down here, I may never leave the house.

Big Brother's always watching you, Horst.
