<blockquote>When she glanced at the top of Arthur’s Seat now, she couldn’t make out the glowing lights she’d seen before. She wondered if the cop would have been able to see them. Only the Chosen saw them, supposedly. That was why the rest of the world thought they were crazy.
She hoped she hadn’t missed her chance.
When you see them, don’t look away. Follow them. If they vanish, they may be gone forever. There’s no way to know if you’ll get another chance. That’s what everybody said. There were Chosen who were still here, stunned and yearning. Some of them killed themselves, and she didn’t want to do that, but she wasn’t sure what she’d do instead, since she’d come all the way here.</blockquote>
