In which Theo and her roommates open their mail.
I wonder what a banthawing might be, and what kind of bad habits it teaches. Piloting habits, presumably, from what Chelly says — but I have to say that absent his comments, I would find a strip of hot pink gauze suggestive of a different class of bad habit entirely.
Clearly the whole Hap Harney business is not going away any time soon. Which… it’s not that I mind, exactly, but does this mean I’m going to be repeating “still haven’t been told what Hap Harney actually did” every chapter for the rest of the book?
I think the ‘not being told what Hap Harney did to get shot down out of hand’ is a deliberate and very telling part of showing what a police state this world is fast becoming. In any place where police, military and a country’s leaders are held to account, that could not be done: it would be all over the news, including discussions about necessity and excessive use of force or military/police brutality etc.
