It began six months after journeying home from Savannah. Silver caught sight of Flint on the beach at twilight, like the sea had delivered him up out of its depths. The cold wind pierced Silver that night with knowledge that had lain half buried but now lay exposed in the shivering cold, like bones jutting out of the earth. He would see Flint in his dreams but hallucinations which manifested in waking hours were far more disturbing. Flint would stand beside Madi. He would stride silent beside Silver to the clifftop and disappear when Silver called out after him. Silver would feel his presence in his room before he opened his eyes to the reality that he was alone, and he was steadily losing his mind.
