Without truly thinking about it, Erin began to set out her own cards out like Jace had. She was following his lead but paused in a moment of incredulity when she could feel the auras hidden inside of the thin cardboard. She glanced up to Jace, down to his hand, then back to her own. She finished laying them out and listened to the explanation.

Staring at the King that Jace held, she found herself sitting up and back as the image manifested. It was her family. Her family. Parents, sibling, house and even the cat. They were inside and enjoying themselves and still living their lives without Erin no matter what she wanted to pretend had happened in her absence. She reached out to take the top of the card with intent to push it down and avoid the sight any longer. It was the first time she'd seen them in so long and it made her want to cry with happiness and a sudden wellspring of loneliness. "This is stupid," she muttered. What did this have to do with getting her power back from those terrible dealers who had stolen it?
