“Y-you’re in league with Clef?” Siggy stammered. “With Clef?”

Lana looked into her eyes. Her gaze was hard and icy. “He built this town, you little bitch. Sooner or later, if you stay here any longer, he’ll come in from the teleporters and we’ll both be dead. Do you want that?”

Siggy looked at her, silent.

Lana shouted again. “I said DO YOU FUCKING WANT THAT?!”

Siggy just stared, tears in her eyes, biting her lip until she drew blood.

All around them, the house rumbled. It started in the ground, then continued to the ceiling, shaking dust from every surrounding object as Siggy shook with barely held-in rage.

The firewood in the fireplace fell from their neatly placed stacks. The picture frames on the wall fell and broke on the floor, one-by-one. The door began to creak open as it shook in the doorway. All the while, as each moment passed, the rumbling continued, getting louder and louder as the house shook more and more.

The anger in Lana’s expression became mixed with fear. “…Siggy…?”

Siggy could only smile in disbelief. Her voice came out weak and soft, barely audible among the rumbling. “Now you call me Siggy?”

“I have a daughter upstairs, Siggy, please-“

“I was your daughter too, Lana.”

Her hand shaking, Siggy slowly raised her sleeve to reveal the stump of her arm that ended at the elbow. The cut was messily made, and it showed, having healed in a bad way as the years passed.

Lana gasped. “Siggy…”

“I was your daughter, too.”

Siggy’s eyes started to glow with a sinister green light.

Lana began to plead, tears flowing from her face at last. “Siggy, please! My daughter is here!”

Suddenly, a brown blur went past her face, meeting with Siggy’s hand. It was the brown teddy bear, the one she got for Bothild on her first birthday.

“You got this for your daughter as well. On her sixth birthday.”

“Please, Siggy, please…”

“Don’t you remember Lana? Don’t you remember?”

All the while around them, the rumbling shook the house harder and harder, until they could barely stand.

Then, Robo finally managed to speak up.

“SIGGY, STOP IT NOW!”

All at once, the rumbling stopped.
