Darlington isn't arrogant by any means, but his grandfather had raised him to take pride in his own achievements. "Perhaps it invited me in, then." He isn't sure it didn't also swallow him whole as well. "I met someone, when I was a boy, who could see things no one else saw, glimpses into the past. I lost touch with him, but after that…who could stop searching?"

No one worth knowing, clearly.
