A boltzmon, the remnant of a black hole, personifies here into a bad-tempered genie who transports Chris and his awful older sister Lulu to Chris's fantasyland, Arteria. The boltzmon's motivation for interfering is never given; once in Arteria, however, Chris travels to the time temples and with somewhat trite rhetoric convinces Lulu to change lest her hatred gets him killed back home.
