One night leading up to Satinalia (though maybe not the night of -- he's only one guy), Cedric is visited by a spirit of memory, Nostalgia. The dream starts in the same shabby room his reoccurring nightmares always start in, but instead of a hungry corpse waiting in the sheets, it's his living mother that scoops him up into her arms. She's only as detailed as Cedric can remember, more suggestion than person in places, but Caius has asked the spirit to mimic her warmth and her scent as well as it can gather, and not to grasp too tightly.
