[Not knowing the history of how things have even gotten to this point, Alice has no reason to believe that he's anything other than a citizen of the Free Cities. Regardless of the truth, she appreciates that he's willing to engage her on this topic. The external confirmation of people are being summoned--in other places than here, even!--makes her feel less like this is all some bizarre fever dream.]

The only other summoned I've met are also recently arrived, so either they've just started summoning people or they have pockets of previously-summoned people elsewhere.

[She honestly has no idea which. And she's not sure which is worse.]

Is it Solvunn or Thorne that's summoned people before, based on what people say?
