"Trippy." Holtzmann blinked and took off her prescription goggles to polish them for the third time. When she put them back on, she blinked rapidly again, then took them off again to rub her eyes. "Whoo! It's like being back in college."

"So you see ley-lines now?"

Erin tried to discreetly shine her little spotlight in Holtzmann's eyes, looking for that telltale glow of ectoplasm, but Abby slapped her hand away. “Leave that alone. She’s already seeing lights.”

It had been less than three hours since their encounter with the Absinthe Angel, as Patty had dubbed the vicious green thing with four wings and about thirty eyes. It had been a close-run thing, but they’d got it in a box with the rest of the creepy-crawlies in that abandoned church—but not before it had slimed Holtzmann. Three showers later, her butt was slime-free, but her vision had only been returning in stops and starts ever since. Everything… glowed. Everything smelled like sunlight. All the shadows were sleeping.

Yeah, pretty much exactly like college.

Erin reluctantly put the light away. “But you do, don’t you? Abby, think about it. No more GPS signal issues.”

"There are no ley-lines coming through the HQ, Erin. Hey, Holtzy. Wanna look out the window?"

"I'm seeing something." Holtzmann stared at the space between her two colleagues.

"What?" Erin and Abby both turned around, but the only thing behind them was Patty eating a sandwich.

"What?" Patty mimicked, swallowing. "I'm on break, ladies. You want my encyclopedic knowledge of trivia, you gotta wait. Told ya. Blood sugar issues."

"You guys, I don't know how to put this..." Holtzmann said, tracing the glowing, floating red thread connecting Erin and Abby. It shied away from her finger like a living thing. "How much anime have you seen?"
