DISCLAIMER: Once upon a time there was a little girl who thought she owned everything to do with the TP books and characters, then the IRS kidnapped her and dragged her off to prison on the far side of Australia...I am not that girl...
Elsewhen
The records at Zinnia Mannor showed that her name was Addie. But Dr. Litchen did not encourage that sort of conversational familiarity between his staff and the patients-their 'charges' as he liked to call them-no matter how intimate their interactions, no matter how unprepossing the guest. To her blank face, a face that animation might have made beautiful, she was known as the "Silent Maiden", or simply "Milady".
It was clear to the nurses and orderlies of Zinnia Manor that their umoving, unspeaking charge, so pretty, so utterly lifeless, must have a story. Something darkly romantic and grandly tragic. But if Dr. Litchen or anyone else knew it, the secret remained closely held. When the staff sat together drinking sweet lindenberry tea and gossiping about the latest escapades of the Daffodil twins, they tried to imagine what terrible event had brought her to such a state. Yet not even their most extravagant guesses came within a stones throw of the truth.
After all, it was possible to imagine that reputations had been staked and lives sacrificed for the light in her eyes, those same eyes which were now so utterly blank, but not one of them ever guessed that once an entire world might have passed into eternal shadow all for the sake of that same dead stare.
