They spent a night out under the stars together talkin' 'bout science! I think that was when I had to admit it to myself, like, OKAY, FINE, YES, I'M THERE.
I too am COMPLETELY floored by Bel being okay with Rowan's assertion that the demons are people -- I keep thinking that Rowan is maybe just avoiding the topic because she knows she doesn't want to have this argument? Because Rowan is also apparently still on board with the 'restart Routine Bioform Clearance' plan, and, wait, Rowan! ROWAN WAIT.
Hah, yes! I laughed at that especially because we're starting to do command line stuff in my digital preservation class right now and our entire class is like "wait, what, no GUI?! this is terrifying! . . . BUT SO POWERFUL *___*" I also love, I forgot to say, how at the end Rowan is like "ehhhhhh, I'm pretty sure you never technically lied to me, IT'S FINE." And all the times she slips that ring on and off for convenience over the course of the story. Our little Rowan is growing up to accept shades of grey, and it's FASCINATING.
I saw a theory that Slado is trying to justify the wizard's treatment of everyone else -- 'look at them all warring with each other, we can abandon them and go home!' But all this seems highly convoluted for that. Or for saving the intelligent alien species, for that matter (although I am SO DOWN for more shades of grey.) I still think a check-up would be fascinating though . . .
