Vincent wastes no time wandering hither and yon within the twisting paths of the Maze. He quickly spots a scrap of cloth upon the ground to the left; walking in that direction, another; and so on, leading him by the shortest possible route to the center of the Maze. There, seated upon a stone bench near a marble statue of a beckoning nymph, is a woman dressed more heavily than one would expect for a mild night of summer. She wears full cloak and gown, as well as velvet gloves, all seeming to be of a deep maroon color, as best as can be told by moonlight. Most remarkably, her face is hidden from casual inspection by a veil of sheer fabric, through which only the outline of her features can be seen in such light. Upon Vincent's appearance, she holds out a handkerchief, from which, it is evident, the small piece of cloth have been torn. She does not yet speak or rise.
