The scooter arrives at the location of the encounter with the creature. Lydia stops the vehicle and leaves only the parking lights on. A few minutes of waiting pass during which Lydia can actually hear Uri’s heartbeat. The creature’s two red eyes pierce the darkness. He stands in front of the scooter about five meters away. A man in a white dress (as depicted in Gustave Doré’s Bible paintings). Uri cowers in his seat in fear.
THE CREATURE
Shalom Aleichem Lydia. We haven’t seen you on the mountain for a long time. It’s good to see you, who’s that guy next to you?
LYDIA
Shalom Aleichem. This is Uri, a new guy that we took in, you know. After Yechiel died,we were left without a team to enter the mountain.
THE CREATURE
Unfortunately, we recently welcomed Yechiel to the mountain, a few months ago. We put him in a cup. We all regretted it because he was very special.
LYDIA
I’m sure you took good care of him, and now I’m here, because Reuven asked me to renew the connection with you.
THE CREATURE
We’d be happy to be in continuous contact with the institute again…
