"Those are the words you told me three lifetimes ago," the voice continues. Ah, it's the professor. "And it's taken me three lifetimes to realize what true innocence is. Tell me, my love, did you always know? That one day, our destiny might bring us here."

He tries to flex his muscles but to no avail. Absently, he notes that he's lying down but his body isn't reacting to either thought or command.
The voice, Raziel's voice, floats above him. "Did you know? That we are soulmates."
