His name is Johan, but now he has a different name. "

                   She pauses in her slightly messy flow of speech, as if something is bothering her,
                   and looks sadly empty before her before continuing:

                   “Johan is associated with the impostor Walther. You know him, you were even

                   married to him once, a long time ago, but you've probably forgotten that now. "
                   Ann is now unable to control herself any longer. All the incomprehensible talk -

                   she wants them to disappear.

                     “I'm a kid after all. How can I have married this … Walther?" She spits out.
                     "You were in a past life before the illness got you," the woman says, looking at

                   her definitely.
                   Ann begins to sweat profusely, both out of rage at the woman and out of fear.

                     "Listen," the woman continues. "Walther, your husband made a covenant

                   behind your back. He did it to protect you, but it was an evil covenant he made.
                   You knew something was wrong, because he changed.

                   He became rich and arrogant, and your love died, even though he loved you. You

                   no longer shared anything but table and bed, and your fine education, which
                   Walther had previously benefited from and was proud of, was now of no use.

                   Walther didn't want you to join the business anymore and you didn't have to
                   keep an account or keep track of the people, everything was secret. When

                   Walther eventually denied that your son Dieter could get a fine education, but

                   instead should follow in Walther's footsteps and become a farmer, you became
                   ill, and no matter how much Dieter and Walther prayed to God for you to stay

                   well, you died of grief. "

                   The woman looks at her with her sad look in the bright green eyes. Her with her
                   almost luminous green eyes, which now seem as if they are not really present,

                   just as her figure also seems transparent, but it is probably her white dress that

                   does, Ann thinks.
                   "What kind of covenant was Walther making since everything was supposed to

                   be secret?" asks Ann.

                   "Walther got a mandrake and made a covenant; my beloved grandfather was the
                   one who swore the oath that Walther was to follow."

                     "A mandrake, what's that?" asks Ann.
                     “A mandrake is a half plant and half human being who brings good luck and
