Quote #10
"Everyone believes in something. Sure you were baptized?"
"Not if you don't count the swimming pool built under the church pews over there," Luce said timidly, jerking her thumb toward Sword & Cross' gym. (17.143-144)
This little piece of information sets the stage for the giant battle that is about to happen, and it tips the scales of Luce's reincarnation wheel. Without being baptized, as Miss Sophia later explains, Luce's soul can't come back, ever. This matter is no small potatoes.
