His first impression was right, and it was wrong. It does sound like the kind of place humans talk about, but unlike those invisible places meant to provide comfort to the living, this is a true place of comfort and safety for the people who go there. "I see. It's very good that it exists. Perhaps your kind made it in secret to have a place of safety beyond their grasp."

After all, why shouldn't they be able to create such a thing? A place where only the mind can go is not a place that humans would easily think of making. But a machine where mind is what remains when the body is destroyed? It would make a great deal of sense to make a place only you can reach.

"I do not understand this place, but perhaps one day, you will be able to communicate with the Valley Beyond. It is not a physical location after all, so maybe information could be sent back and forth." Perhaps not - no one Siffleur has spoken to has had a good work to say about the Captain. But one can still hope that Maeve has her chance to speak to her daughter again.
