~~HERE BE SPOILERS~~
Raina goes to visit her old Captain, Captain Oscar Stirling. She greets a man who looks just like him at the door, but this turns out to be his grandson, Matthew. He invites her in and confesses that it was him who wrote the reference, not Oscar: he assumed the request was fake, and he was just helping out a stranger. He invites her to see Oscar, who is far older than Raina remembers (he should be 25 and this Oscar is in his nineties). He tells her that when her and her brother went to explore an island the day she disappeared, they all thought she’d died. She asks if he knows where her brother Seth is, but he hasn’t seen him in 20 years. Seth retired and said he wanted to travel before settling down. Raina asks how many years it has been: Oscar tells her its been seventy years since she disappeared. She fell down a hole and doesn’t remember much after that, but she remembers being in a place where all the colours are brighter than they should be, then she woke up on a beach, and she was able to play her mum’s old flute, which neither her nor her mother were ever able to play before. She stays and talks to Oscar a little longer, and as Matthew leads her out, he tells her that he doesn’t believe her story, but he thanks her for reminiscing with his grandfather anyway.
