Ha! Yes, all right, I see that now. But yes, given that those bits are wholly in Fritz's POV... :P
Yeah, I was definitely wrong about Fritz's perspective on Katte's sincerity. I was drawing on his "it's easy to compel someone to profess religious beliefs, but you gain nothing from the empty words" quote, instead of the interrogation protocols about which I did not know yet.
But I totally left the fic ambiguous as to whether it's a ghost visitation or a fever/opium dream (even the tags!), and as you saw, I call out the ambiguity in that exchange by having Fritz say, "I knew it!" and Katte go, "I'm your dream. I am as you remember me." :P
And then, even waffling like that, I *still* managed to be wrong! GDI. :P
