wait wait i missed it. what part confirmed anastasia/alecto? that is huge

i personally would not say confirmed, but i took the passages below from Nona the Ninth as a tazmuir-style narrative clue that something’s going on between the two of them. i’ll admit it’s not conclusive though and i fully know other people interpret it differently and that’s fine bc it’s just a ship at the end of the day ¯_(ツ)_/¯

quote from nona the ninth: She had said, (begin highlight) There are almost no beautiful things left. (end highlight) Where is Anastasia? (begin highlight) Let me talk to Anastasia. (end highlight)ALT
quote from nona the ninth: She looked back beyond, and she saw Anastasia, tucked where nobody would find her: Anastasia, all bones. Not really Anastasia. But Anastasia's body without the meat on it, snuggled right into the curve of the rock, ready to close the door whenever it was opened. (begin highlight) she remembered Anastasia. Her vision swam: her heart was in her throat. (end highlight) "Well, happy birthday to me, I guess," sighed Nona. And Nona tumbled forward onto the icy dead breast of the Body.ALT
quote from nona the ninth: Alecto said, (begin highlight)The line of Anastasia is unbroken yet.(end highlight) The child answered, Through sin and iniquity, yes. (begin highlight)Alecto said, I am very sorry about Samael.(end highlight) The child made no answer. Alecto said, I remember my vows. (begin highlight)As I swore to Anastasia I swear to you. I am in your service until you bid me the favour,(end highlight) and whatsoever you appoint I shall perform, and consider the vow rendered. This is what I promised, until such a time as you deal with me as you see fit. ALT
