Alice. That's what the boys in the street called me, when I went past them on the day of The Fall. In what the doctor's call a coma dream, doing that got them off with their head. In so called real life, they moved away. 

 But who's to say any of this is real?

Alistair was a person of science. They weren't spiritual, they didn't believe in fate, and their favorite things were the ones that were measurable. 

 That changed in The Fall.

 Since then, they've had no choice but to accept one core thing as the truth:

 The idea of reality, of measuring things and logic, is the biggest lie they've ever been sold.
