I’m not committed to her being from FTL, I just took note of how she said “not in this land”. I know that as someone from here, I wouldn’t say that specifically… maybe I’d use the word “world”– but then again, I may be picking.
I also agree that the grandmother is important. I’ve seen the people who are convinced she’s Cindy’s fairy godmother.. I don’t know who she is, but I think that if Tamara IS of this world, the reason she’s so convinced is because she was so close to someone who wasn’t.
