Nico's eyes darkened perceptibly, as did the air around him. A fury entered them, a fury at being trapped, at the very concept of there being no way out of this place. She had to be wrong. She had to be.
He swallowed, not wanting to attract the attention of everyone in this place (some of whom could be monsters, for all he knew), and then took one, two, then three deep breaths.
"I'm much more comfortable with the dead," he said bluntly. "There's too much baggage with living people."
When was he from?
"I'm from now. 2010. But I'm only fourteen, so don't throw all sorts of science at me."
