Phoebe poured herself a calming tonic too as she waited for her grandmother to say something. The old one appeared to be deep in thought, just as aunt Maureen was.
Maureen was once again analyzing the rebirth thoughts, a thing she had been doing a lot for months. Previously, she thought Phoebe maybe had memories of her past life before reincarnating but the deeper she analyzed her niece's movements, the more she came to believe that she was wrong.
A lot of things had not made sense, like Phoebe knowing a lot of random things about the future of the country. Knowledge like that did not come from making predictions the shaman way. There was also her extensive knowledge on medicine as if she had ever worked in a hospital, rare herbs, and scientific research. According to Phoebe's records, after graduating from school, she fell into the lake, went into a coma and started seeing ghosts. She had been a shaman since then.
