Neighbor:
So, you have a new role to play, I hear?

Nikki:
Up for a role, but I'm afraid far from getting it.

Neighbor:
No, no. I definitely heard that you have it.

Nikki:
Oh?

Neighbor:
Yes. It is an... It is an interesting role?

Nikki:
Oh yes, very!

Neighbor:
Is it about marriage?

Nikki:
Um, perhaps in some ways, but...

Neighbor:
Your husband is involved?

Nikki:
No.

Neighbor:
Hmmm. A little boy went out to play. When he opened his door, he saw the world. As he passed through the doorway, he caused a reflection. Evil was born. Evil was born, and followed the boy.

Nikki:
I'm sorry, what is that?

Neighbor:
An old tale, and a variation. A little girl went out to play. Lost in the marketplace, as if half-born. Then, not through the marketplace - you see that, don't you? - but through the alley behind the marketplace. This is the way to the palace. But it isn't something you remember.
