[Ange's movement catches Break's eye as she moves, and he squints at her in suspicion. She doesn't belong here, Break knows that much -- her clothing is all wrong, and so is the way she's moving. But the one time Baltus let Break "see" her, the omen was fixed pointedly on the butterflies in her hands, not Ange's face. Break doesn't recognize her, even as he realizes this must be the person who has entered the memory with him.]

Who...? [No. More importantly -- ] That is...not where you want to be standing. Come.

[They have a few moments before the real action starts -- the horrible little Baskerville girl, the child bent on tearing him to shreds in vengeance, slinks over in her red cloak to ask after a "Lady Shelly". The Mad Hatter had been calling her name in his delirium, the girl snitches. Was that person his beloved one?

As Break crosses the distance to take Ange's elbow and try to guide her gently away, the old woman nearby confirms that Lady Shelly was her own daughter, and Sharon's mother. "Unfortunately," she says, "she passed away a long time ago."

The current Break is stone faced. Behind them, behind Sharon, another of the hooded figures is moving in.]
