Miaren has to remind herself that the second girl was no longer a factor.  If they were lucky they'd get the third girl out from under that - that Thing.  She can only imagine - no, she doesn't<em>want</em>to imagine what could be happening to the village girl as she waits to join her ill-fated companion.  This one's mind may be shattered already.<br/><br/>"The giant!" she calls, hoping to spur Fern - or possibly Draque - back into action<br/><br/>And yet - and yet she can't be entirely sure that what's happening is entirely real.  False memories have mixed with the true already, and perhaps what she's seeing is another of these.
