Me and Jakob are still friends, yeah. He's not a revolutionary now, though - he really never was. He fled the country (that was what I was talking about earlier, with the documents - it was him who got smuggled out), but I stayed behind to keep fighting. He sends me letters every few months telling me how brilliant it is in Bruges and how I should come and join him. Weirdly, though, the guy who arrested me? Turned into one of my best friends here in this world. Until he got Ported home. I thought Mandrake was the worst, most loathsome little toad back home, but here...I really got the measure of him. It's weird the twists that get thrown at you, isn't it?
