“And
the field,” Tom replies, “Was meant to keep you from finding out,
by keeping you locked up in an environment that the Fears control.”
“Why

“As
I said, if you're allowed to discover your power, you can stand up to
them. They're up to something with your wife and the bird, the last
thing they'll want is you interfering.”
“And
that thing you said earlier, about you not being a person?” Robert
asks.
“As
far as I know,” replies Tom, “There are only two people actually
in the Weave, yourself and your wife, everything else is.... ideas
with personality. Now, we really should get to your training.”
