" One more question. Is Quick Ben alive?”

“I already told Fid—”

“This question ain’t his, Bottle. It’s mine.”

“Listen, I don’t know – and I told Fid the same thing. I got no sense with those people—”

“Which people?”

“Bridgeburners. Those people. Dead Hedge, Quick Ben – even Fiddler himself. They aren’t the same as us. As you and me, Sergeant, or Corabb back there. Don’t ask me to explain what I mean. The point is, I can’t read them, can’t scry for them. Sometimes, it’s like they’re …I don’t know…ghosts. You poke and you go right through. Other times, they’re like a solid mountain, so big the sun itself can’t climb over them. So I don’t know, is my answer. "
