  • Anne dear, your mother is not dead, not really. She's come back to me!
  • I've got to use more amplification than I've ever used before. But I'm not going to hurt you!

Anne Blair edit

  • My father had become a very strange man!
  • They say my father's spirit must still lives in that house. I don't know. When he seemed to be so close to what he sought, something reached for him - a warning that human beings must not try to reach beyond death! I don't know. No one will ever know, and yet perhaps the time will come when the door to infinity will open... perhaps... perhaps...
