"OK! I'll try to remember things but I don't remember anything else right now. He's nice though."

"That's good, but not a good way to find someone."

"I guess there are probably lots of nice people," says Zana, nodding seriously.

"There are, yes. Do you think Cam might know that you summoned somebody?"

She considers this. "Cam wasn't there either. There was a demon though! He was waving his hands a lot and he didn't make any things. I don't know what his name was."

"If Cam doesn't know you summoned anybody, he'll think you're in Limbo with your parents."

"Oh no," she says, frowning. "I don't know how to tell Cam."

"Yeah. One thing that might happen is that he might look for you, but your aunt isn't going to know that people can be demons after they die, so that might not make anything happen, if he finds you."

"Can't he tell Auntie Kalia?"

"If she lets him talk, maybe, but nobody's ever convinced humans that this happens even though humans have all known about daeva for a hundred and fifty years."

Zana considers this. "Auntie Kalia will find out. She's good at finding things out. But it might take her a while if we can't tell her."

"Yup. If she's summoned, she'll definitely find out once she dies, though, and she might even go to Hell."

"Oh! I don't want to wait for her to die, though, so we should work on something else, too."

She yawns. She doesn't mean to, but a lot of things have happened today and she's kind of tired at this point.

"Sleepy?"

"I didn't take a nap today. And I summoned a demon and I died."

"That's a long day. Do you like to sleep in pajamas usually?"

She nods, and then she remembers that she can conjure things. She conjures her fuzzy pajamas with frogs on them.

He unbuttons her overalls the theater demon made for her and gets them off from over the pajamas. "Want me to tuck you in?"

"Mhmm."

She snuggles down into the bed with Porkcullis and waits for Rozben to turn out the lights.

"S'okay, Porkcullis. Someone'll find someone. People don't just be lost forever. Not for a whole forever."

And then she sleeps.

Rozben leans in the doorframe for a bit, smiling, and then shuts the door and tiptoes away.

About eight hours later she might smell breakfast! Rozben is having a huge plate of bacon and also a poke bowl.

Zana is sort of confused upon waking up; the bed is too big and her room is the wrong color and she accidentally kicked Porkcullis off the bed in the night. Then she remembers that her parents are away somewhere and Auntie Kalia and Connor are still on Pluto, and she isn't on Pluto, and that wasn't so terrible yesterday but she really really misses them today. And she doesn't know how much of her whole forever it's going to take to fix it.

She only cries for a little bit. Then she retrieves Porkcullis from the floor and apologizes for kicking him, and then they can go eat bacon. Also pancakes, because Zana likes pancakes and she can have all the pancakes she wants now.

She can! With chocolate chips if she wants 'em! Rozben takes pictures of her eating pancakes. Does she want to try poke bowl contents? There are a bunch of things in there.

She tries the poke bowl and declares that some of the pieces are suspicious. She thanks him for sharing, though.

"No problem," he says. "Do you have anything you'd like to do today?"

"I want to work on talking to Auntie Kalia, because I miss everyone a lot today and I don't want to wait a whole forever. And also I want to learn the rest of how to read, because then I can write letters to people."
