Summary
"Hi, kid," the woman said, her voice low and musical, the first ordinary sound Jonny had heard in hours. "I'm Doc-- Carmilla. I'm Carmilla. Are you okay? Where are your parents?"
"Dad's a dead zombie," Jonny said. "Mum's at home. I don't know." Everything he could think to say felt like stupid cheesy horror movie dialogue. Doc Carmilla, concerned and beautiful, had her full attention on him. Jonny thought: everything is over. Anything he said now would be, for whatever value it had, true.
He felt a strange, unnameable emotion halfway between grief and delight. He said, "I'm Jonny d'Ville."

Summary
Jon wakes up again, and realizes that he must have drifted off to sleep. There's a voice somewhere in the background, but it's too faint to make out.
It isn't Nikola. Her voice, Jon would recognize anywhere. Not that it's even hers. Whose voicebox is sewn into her throat? Did they die quickly, or did the pain stretch out interminably, and leave the poor victim wishing for death?
The voice gets louder. He feels like he recognizes it, but that doesn't mean anything. Nothing means anything in the Circus. Jon squeezes his eyes shut even tighter."—see? He's fine," the voice whispers audibly as its owner opens a door. It sounds annoyed. That is not ideal.
