Lucia's voices

Points, a bridge, a papa, a youth assistant nobody else can see — and, at the party, a ten-year-old Dutch girl named Jill who knew the prime minister, in Lucia Mar's head with other children: 'There are multiple people in there. Real people, mostly kids.' Something to do with the dog and a man named Alexandro, Florin says, and he believes the dog can still control her from afar in short bursts. 'You guys said there were no children crawlers allowed.' 'It's complicated, Carl.'
