A thought. We’re all fantasizing about Harrow resurrecting Gideon, and it being very sweet and romantic and loving… but Harrow’s not the one who’s been studying resurrection theory.
Ianthe’s been studying resurrection theory.
Imagine if Ianthe is the one who brings back Gideon. Imagine if they have to rely on the second least trustworthy, second most dishonest, and absolute most conniving character in the series to get their happy ending. They’d never be able to trust it! Harrow would spend every day for the rest of their lives checking Gideon to make sure Ianthe didn’t do something horrible when Harrow wasn’t looking, Gideon would never be able to feel at peace with her body. And the worst part is that Ianthe wouldn’t even have to DO anything to make them paranoid for decades! And she’d think it was hilarious.
