Somehow. [ he agrees, looking at his hand again. it certainly felt real. ] I'm not entirely sure what it meant, beyond that there are far more tricks to this place than I even originally thought.

I have a theory that what Lady Lili saw must have been from the place she came from before, but I can't make any assumptions without confirming it. [ sharks?? why were there sharks. he has some questions! ] The circumstances of both places were strange, but once we realized it was an illusion, so to speak, it started to end.

[ mm! before he forgets. there was actually something useful beyond all this magical business. ] The area we explored did turn out to be an infirmary, and nothing like when we first walked in, so I can safely assume that was an illusion, too. We had to rush out, and the door had locked back behind us, though I know how to get in now, so it may be worth exploring again, maybe in a larger group.
