Helly waits a moment, letting the silence hang between them. He's said nothing that avails himself to her so far, but his casual tone is nothing like the beaming naΓ―vetΓ© of the native townspeople. He's not looking at her like she's stupid, he's looking at her like he's trying to work her out, figure out where she stands. And honestly, she gets it. She's the one who came here, into his house, and started asking questions. If he wants to be on his guard, then that's only fair.

"Somewhere called Lumon," she says eventually. It's easier to say that than explaining any more – and anyone who recognises the name will recognise it whether she explains it or not. A beat, and then she ventures to add, "Most people haven't heard of it. But it's a long way from here. I wouldn't be able to get back there if I tried."
