6 Shivers A warm column of air rises around you, encircling the building you stand on. You feel its twisting shape, bits of paper and birds -- on the *thermal*. Along with several million litres of water. All rising up into the great Insulindian sky.

7 Shivers Nothing happens -- there is a mass of droplets above the planetary body, colourless, merging into one another...

11 Shivers The sky is more black than grey; you hear the distant murmur of motor-connections somewhere south of here. That is all.

12 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "So, officer..." the young woman says with a sigh.

13 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "So, officer, what were we talking about -- in the final hours of this twilight world?"
  • 5
14 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "Silence, officer. Wouldn't have thought you the silent type... What were we talking about?"
  • 5
15 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "So, officer. Sad silence -- a lamentation? What were we talking about?"

16 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "So, superstar law official -- what were we talking about?"

20 Shivers Continuously nothing. The sky slowly slides above you. The young woman exhales, the scent of menthol tobacco. Sounds like a sigh.

22 Shivers The sky is low and cold. You hear the distant murmur of motor-connections somewhere south of here. That is all.
  • 85
23 Shivers From the vapour, a great cumulus is formed. A cloud castle one thousand metres high. A flock of seagulls screams, hitch-hiking on the thermal. They too are part of the procession, the honour watch.
  • 39
24 You Shudder.
  • 23
25 Shivers Because it's warm -- from the gathering spring; from the oceanic current flowing into the bay; the people on the streets; and the machines that hum in the harbour. Heavy fuel oils too.
  • 24
26 You "The Return of *what* exactly?"
  • 35
27 Shivers Everyone is a guest on this isola. A guest of the air and the water, and the humidity between. You are as well, surely.
  • 31
28 You "Miss. What are you waiting for?"
  • 43
29 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "I'm waiting for the miracle to happen. It'll take one to get me out of the mess I'm in."
  • 47
30 You Revert your eyes to the rooftop and shudder.

32 You Is she safe here?
  • 33
33 Shivers As safe as you keep her.
  • 41
34 Shivers Her thought trails off. The wind picks up again. Above her, a great cumulus cloud rises -- ready to fall down as precipitation. April will come, then May; a month, maybe two from now... you shudder. The feeling dissipates. The thought ends.
  • 82
35 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "Of the king? Of the nation? Of communism? Return on investment?" She tilts her head. "I don't know exactly. It's meant to be vague, as promises generally are."
  • 97
36 You "What is the Return?"
  • 37
37 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "Don't you know, sir? I thought you were from around here. You look like *Mr. Revachol*."
  • 53
  • 54
  • 55
38 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "The Return, well... It's part urban myth -- part political science. It's a fool's hope, sir, and it's also all I've got. They say there will be an *event*. That it will happen somewhere here..."
  • 83
39 You For whom?
  • 40
40 Shivers For her. The guest. Waiting.
  • 32
  • 41
41 You What is she waiting for?
  • 42
42 Shivers For Gloria. Soon these clouds will all fall down as rain. Spring will come. Two more months. Maybe less. It's time.
  • 28
43 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "You mean here -- in Martinaise?" She takes a drag, slow and long...
  • 44
  • 45
44 You Nod.
  • 29
45 You "Never mind. Tell me something else."
  • 46

  • 52
51 You "And what miracle would that be?"
  • 52
52 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "The Return, of course." She smiles. "Now, I know I'm not from *around* here -- I would only be hitch-hiking. The Return is a big hit in the industrial espionage circles. A lot of desperate, seedy types there. All screwed in this unipolar world."
  • 36
  • 30
53 You "Humour me."
  • 38
54 You "Oh, you don't know? I drank so much I can't remember my entire life. Turns out that can happen to a human being." Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_none"]

56 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "As I said -- there's talk. In the competitive intelligence crowd. A lot of people, like me, who need... a new colour on the map. It's all blue, you see. And that blue doesn't like us."

61 Kim Kitsuragi "*Le Retour...*" the lieutenant says. His forehead furrowed, he puts his notes down.
  • 57
62 You "How soon will it happen?"
  • 69
63 You "Is this why you said you would like to surrender in a *free* Revachol?" Variable["whirling.klaasje_shivers_white_open_come_in"]
  • 66
64 You "Thank you -- one last question. Do you *really* think it will happen?" (Conclude.)
  • 81
65 You "Some political event? How do you know of this?"
  • 56
66 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "Yeah..." She looks at the sky, then at you. "I guess it is."
  • 67
67 Rhetoric So she thinks -- at least partly -- that this Return will feature a self-governing Revachol. She has already placed her bets.
  • 79
68 None
  • 57
69 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "Soon. But it's been *soon* for almost half a century now, so don't hold your breath."
  • 76
70 Conceptualization It's an empty vessel, an amphora waiting to be filled. Something always *returns* from the past -- it's how the future happens. And when it does, many guesses turn out to have been right.
  • 79
71 You "You came all this way because of a rumour?" Variable["whirling.klaasje_shivers_white_open_rumours"]
  • 72
72 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "No, I came all this way on a false passport and some money. To hide, mostly. In the most volatile part of the Reál Belt, where it's easiest to disappear."
  • 73
73 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "Where the walls are still porous and you can slip through. This is just... something to get me through the night you know. A little *espérance*."
  • 74
74 Inland Empire Still, the story influenced her choice of where to run. It must have some hidden layers...
  • 68
75 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) She turns to the lieutenant. "No need to worry, lieutenant. I'm sure the streets will not erupt in seditious violence just yet."

  • 111
104 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) She nods. A puff of smoke. "Something is happening. In this city. I can feel it. When I'm out here at night..."
