[this would be the face of a rather...skeptical young woman staring into the book. in fact she has a small frown on her face as she flips through some of the previous pages]
What kind of book is this? I thought it would help yield some answers but instead-

He felt sick, the sharp pain in his chest hurting. His thoughts were a scattered mess, what could he possibly say to her? What would she think? He knew Luceti could bring back people who had died, but from ten years ago? It was too surreal. Despite his fears, he realized that if he didn't say something now he might miss the chance. For the time being, he'd just talk to her like anyone else would, leaving the familiar face behind. If he could even find the words to say that is.]
... If it was a joke, it'd be the cruelest one I've heard. [He pauses.]

A new world, Malnosso, a book as a communication device-and not even a way out?

You sound so surprised. [...and now she's starting to get a little suspicious.]

No it's just... [Best to avoid telling her about Alexei's actions for now. For all he knows, Alexei could be from the same timepoint considering he hasn't encountered him yet.]
Yeah, I'm surprised. It's hard to explain, but the way Luceti works means it pulls people in from different points in time, as well as worlds. The point I'm from is after Alexei resigns from the position of Commandant, it's ten years in the future for you.
