>"Jen.....?"Throughout her life, Colby Jefferson has been an atheist and a skeptic in matters of the spiritual. Her experience with Sapphire's ghost in Priscilla's bedroom the night they went to search for Nikki had challenged her to expand her beliefs, and what has happened since only serves to reinforce that there is more to life and life after death than she was ever able to understand. She takes a moment to block out her other senses, and believes that somehow she can feel Jennifer Emilia's presence among them.
>"Jen, I-I think I sense you. Listen, if you're here, I'm so grateful to have been your friend. But it feels like I just met you, too. I wish we'd had so much more time, the way things were. But maybe we still do, in a way. If there's a way we can communicate, help me to understand, and I'll try my best to figure it out. And maybe....."Maybe what? C.A.M.O. had supposedly returned from death. Colby could vouch that she was alive and well. Immaculate Connection's string of losses to Warhorse attested to that. Could Sapphire somehow return, like she was, someday?
>"..... well, there's a lot I don't understand yet. But I'm so glad you're still with us. Somehow."
