And this... memory your mother shared, that is your only memory of me?
Yes.
And how long have you been with this... Policeman?
Three hundred and twenty-seven days.
And this policeman, he thinks he can work out some sort of deal with these men to set you free?
Yes. He says soon.
He's naive, then. We will always be monsters to them, do you understand? [El nods sadly] Now let me guess: your policeman, he also stops you from using your gifts? [El nods] What you can do... is incredible. It makes you very special, Jane.
Wait. Do you have a gift?
Different. I can make people see, or not see, whatever I choose.
Is that why you made the man with the crazy hair dance?
;Laughs] Axel is not so fond of spiders, so...
You made him see spiders?
[Nods] But it doesn't have to be scary.
[She opens her hand and conjures an illusion of a butterfly that changes colors]
This butterfly, it isn't real. I've just convinced your mind it is. Think of it as a kind of... magic.
[She closes her hand around the butterfly, then opens her fingers to show it has vanished]
Are you real?
[Smiles] Yes, I'm real.
