VINCENT//

Myrtle? Are you available?

MYRTLE//

I am, husband.

VINCENT//

I always liked your hair that way.

MYRTLE//

Thank you.

VINCENT//

I wanted to tell you that Peiyun has passed on.

MYRTLE//

What happened?

VINCENT//

We don't know exactly... probably a victim of a vampire's full drain.

Whose, we don't know.

I'll get Kevin in here.

KEVIN//

Mom.

I did an augury.

I was filled with the last pain she felt before dying. Her vision was darkened.

MYRTLE//

Vision? Pain? Sounds more like a scrying. I didn't know --

KEVIN//

Well.

It was sort of a scry, sort of an augury.

MYRTLE//

That's impressive.

I'm saddened to hear that she's left the plane. She was a good woman.

KEVIN//

I know you loved her.

I've been helping her son since he's now lost both his sister and his mother.

He's probably going to sell the house in Williamsburg.

MYRTLE//

I know...

It's tragic, the amount of bloodshed we've seen in the past few years.

I can't imagine what it's like for the young today.

The world crumbling before they've had a chance to realize it.

KEVIN//

Well, you saw a lot of terrible things in the Great War.

MYRTLE//

It is different, to lose a friend.

It is different, to see children lose their mother.

VINCENT//

We don't have enough information with which to retaliate.

It could be Trelaine but it seems different than his usual style.

We just don't know.

I'm sorry.

MYRTLE//

No, it is OK.

Two wrongs won't bring her back.

KEVIN//

That's big of you, mother.

MYRTLE//

An old ghost can still learn new tricks.

I have a lot of time these days.

Time to reflect on what worked and what didn't work.

KEVIN//

We need your help with something else.

MYRTLE//

Fire away.

KEVIN//

Straud sent us to investigate the Goth house a few weeks back.

Inside, we found a vampress who claimed to be named Kali.

VINCENT//

Someone I heard gossip of many moons ago.

KEVIN//

We need you to do some research on her, and possibly theorize on what kinds of poisons might be in her domain.

Roxanne was injured.

MYRTLE//

Not Roxanne!

She's a lovely young woman.

KEVIN//

She is.

I want to help her but so far I've been unable to do anything for her.

She's just sitting around waiting for her wounds to heal themselves.

She's improving but it's slow.

MYRTLE//

Your father's wounds were slow to heal too.

VINCENT//

I was not poisoned as she is.

MYRTLE//

How do you know?

VINCENT//

...

KEVIN//

Thank you, Ma.

MYRTLE//

You're always welcome.
