Cole nods. Truth be told, he doesn't really know how Rita can see what he is. Perhaps she's a mage? Solas could see through him and Solas was a mage. But, then again, demons could see through him and Rita certainly was not a demon. And Vivenne couldn't see through him (or chose not to see through him?) and she was a mage also.

But she's right, though. Magic but not magic. Just like how he's a person but not a person and dead but not dead. Cole, the walking bundle of contradictions.

"I think I'm a spirit," he helpfully chimes in. "Not a freak."
