"Have you tried?" John arches an eyebrow. "Or are you just assuming Darrow plays by the same rulebook as wherever it is you came from?"

It should go without saying that it doesn't. He's never met an immigrant from a universe that regularly abducted people from the timeline next door. But if this girl has spent her entire postmortem existence trapped on her own property, she might not be particularly well-versed in the affairs of her home universe, either.

And that's setting aside Norah's example: he knows at least one ghost who's found herself to be more mobile in Darrow than she was back home. But he doesn't want to use a ghost he actually respects as a rhetorical pawn, so he just sweeps an arm toward the property line in clear invitation. "If you're really stuck, prove it. It's not like the effort will kill you."
