Sophia searches for the tapping sound that brings her through the passages of the house to where her father sits in the study. He turns to her and all she sees is a giant Makeral head on his shoulders. She flees in horror. Sophia at the kitchen table lifts her head off her arm as her father taps incessantly on her plate.
'Sophia, sit up and eat your supper'. He shoves the plate at her.. she looks down and sees a giant Mackeral staring back at her.
