How It All Goes Down
Revenant
- We're finally back to the present-present now, with Karou and Akiva.
- "Mere seconds had passed since they had broken the wishbone, but in that space of time, years had come home to her" (57.2).
- Karou knows who she is: she is Madrigal's revenant. Her resurrected soul.
- Also: remember those baby teeth mentioned back in Chapter 13?
- Brimstone used them to make Madrigal a baby body. Babies are easier to hide.
- Um. There is no way to say that without sounding creepy, but we mean it in the least-creepy way possible.
- Oh, wait. We're not done with flashbacks.
- Time for another. Back again to Madrigal's execution day...
