Right, the skeleton. As far as Guy was concerned, it was the other way around. He hadn't missed that weird ferryman one bit. Actually, the caverns wouldn't even be that hard to deal with if it wasn't for the fact that they had to endure that ferryman.

Although Guy wasn't so convinced that the skeleton hadn't missed them, at least a little bit. "I don't know," he said with a crooked smile, "I think he might get pretty lonely down there." It seemed like the ferryman was stuck doing that job for the rest of eternity, and who knew how long he'd been working at it before now.

On the other hand, had that many other groups of patients really gone through there? Guy had no way of knowing, of course, but he still had to wonder if this institute was truly as long-lived as Landel tried to make it seem.
