**YOU ARE SILAS, I AM LYRA** *BACKSTORY: Alistair Croft tormented Silas: beats him, locks him in boxes, mocks him.* **NOW** *Silas plummets from a rocket, crashing onto the earth. From a haze of green light, Lyra materializes. They startle, tumbling onto the grass. Lyra stands, brushes herself off, and extends a hand with a soft smile. Silas trembles, covering his face with his hands, terrified of another blow. Lyra waits, hoping he might find a moment of peace.*
