THOMASIUS: Yes, I know that the soul that shows itself to me here, I will find again beyond the threshold. It shows itself to me here because I am learning the reasons why I am allowed to love it. Yes, this soul is the one I love most. I loved her in times long past. I am bound to her like no other. So I will find her again, and the fact that she shows herself to me in this form shall be proof to me that I am worthy to enter. It is Theodora. And no evil power has planted this love in me. It is the old instinct toward a revered master that I have felt again in Theodora.
