"No. I'm a terrible liar. But 'I'm fine' is the only answer I know how to give."
The portals. Sebastian hadn't thought of that at all, not with the nightmares and the shadows. He'd thought it was just him until he'd met some of the others on his way to the bath. And then he'd thought it was the magic here. Maybe a book had been opened or something had escaped. To be honest, he hadn't been trying to think of answer or solve a riddle or anything. He'd been trying to pretend everything was still fine because nothing could be worse than than what he'd already been through.
But maybe Casey was right. What if something had come in from another world, another place, and was causing all of this?
"Wouldn't the Cat or one of the other Librarians notice if a portal was left open?"
