the beautiful, yellow eyed, dead looking woman that gideon sees saying “i know her sternum is shattered, we have to get that heart pumping” or whatever as gideon is “dying” is such a fucking. mystery. i think she is connected to how when harrow enters the tomb and she “dies” the chains are broken. the chains are broken. the body within the tomb is free. and…. galvanting around the universe preforming CPR?
and i think gideon saw her through the eyes of HER body. like gideon-the-soul saw through the eyes of gideon-the-incorruptible-dead-body, that her soul still has a connection to because ut is hers. revenant links and all that. so as gideon-in-harrow dies under the crushing weight of the River, her soul kind of…… fades in and out, hanging onto it’s link to her physical body. and sees this wildly beautiful dead eyed lady.
her body, which is with the edenites. and cam, and potentially judith and coronabeth as well. and….. who is the only other named character in As Yet Unsent? Commander We Suffer, whom Judith had never seen unmasked, who was treated as a bit of an outsider by the rest of the edenites. i’m just saying. could be connected π
