> something i love about the soup scene is how many little details are COMPLETELY RECONTEXTUALIZED when you know what she’s planning. things you wouldn’t even question.

> - harrow is pacing and jumpy in the kitchen: she’s understandably on edge from repeated attacks and lack of sleep -> she’s worried someone will walk in on her and realize what she’s up to
> - harrow panics and adds “a great deal of water” to the soup at the last minute: harrow has no fucking idea how to make soup -> she’s worried the bone marrow will be more detectable if the broth is too thick
> - john tries the broth, sets down his spoon, and takes a “discrete sip of water”: the soup sucks because harrow has no idea how to make soup -> john knows there’s bone marrow in there and he’s just waiting to see what she’s going to do
> - harrow flinches when augustine makes a comment about confessing before they find a finger in the soup: harrow is sensitive about her shitty soup -> harrow literally put her own bone marrow in the soup and that comment has her severely on edge
> - harrow uses all of g1deon’s least favorite vegetables: she fucking hates that guy -> she needs him to drink as much straight broth as possible because she is going to kill him with the broth

> it’s just. such a good scene. it’s such a completely different scene when you read it for the second time.
