"Teenagers are always impossible or easy, it seems."

"Nausicaa seems easy. Cheerful kid."

"Reminds me of some of my old students, really..."

"Do you want to talk about them?"

"It hurts, somewhat, to know they're all dead now. I - think I should like to find out what became of many of them, someday, and their legacies."

Permalink

"And their graves." 

Permalink

"Yes. Though it'll be quite a shock to many of them! Only a few were at all aware of the occult."

Permalink

"Maybe some of them should wait until we've changed the world enough to make all of this mainstream." 

Permalink

"The bulk of them, though I could perhaps identify a few who would react well."

"We might want to secure their bodies well in advance, though. Just in case."

"Absolutely. The salts are not hard to store at all."

"Sometimes I think we should be taking and reducing and cataloging every corpse we possibly can."

Permalink

"I don't know how common medical students with insufficient licit cadavers to practice on seeking illicit ones was in your day, but now it's sufficiently common that Satanism is an unlikely response." 

Permalink

"We might've had fewer medical students and more superstitions, then."

Permalink

"Most likely. The last witch trial in this country was held fifty years ago, and the judge dismissed the complaint." 

Permalink

"Good; that'll aid our secrecy, at least."

Permalink

Nod. "Nothing I've read has suggested to me much in the way of overlap between actual occult practitioners and people formally tried for witchcraft. Which doesn't mean none of the accused witches truly were, but from what I can glean the accusations were more likely to be socially motivated. Curwen's case not standing as a counterexample, frankly."
