Excerpt:
Aunt Mariya was certain that she had solved the mystery of the many dimensions. All of us could do it, but our minds and bodies prevented us from going, be-cause the environments in these other dimensions were different. Some were slightly different. Some more drastically so. One would die as certainly as a diver without oxygen and a space-walker without a spacesuit would die. Only in these other dimensions, it would not be the body that suffered injury, but the mind and the soul.

Episode Art Description: Scan of ink drawing, digitally colored. A girl or young woman seen from knees up and from the back. She has short hair ending at the base of the skull and is wearing a coat that is gathered at the back and flares down from the waist in folds. Trees with scarce bare branches surround her, their tops looming above. Through them can be seen the glowing disc of the moon casting out dim light on the gray and foggy atmosphere below.
