[To the elderly of the plot, that voice might sound familiar! It is most definitely Jane, but she doesn't sound like herself at all.]

Exactly how long do these things last? These...what do you even call them? When the castle meddles in your affairs longer than usual? For Pete's sake, this is ridiculous! [There's a huff.] I don't want to be an old lady forever. Three days was enough!!

You... you do? I, uh... I'm not that special, but thanks. I'm not tough, or brave, o-or a good fighter, or anything like that...

You're welcome!
