How It All Goes Down
Pressia (Gazebo)
- In the car, Fignan is putting on a mini lightshow for Wilda to distract her. This Fignan thing is interesting.
- Pressia then sings Wilda a lullaby to help her sleep; it's kind of creepy though because it's about "the ghostly girls" who haunt the shore in tattered school-uniforms.
- Once Wilda falls asleep, Pressia sees her trembling. Maybe that's the first sign of the testing they did to her in the Dome.
- Bradwell parks on a hill in the Meltlands, and everyone gets out to wait for the mothers. Wilda crawls into a gazebo and Pressia follows.
- After asking Wilda some uncomfortable questions about inside the Dome, Pressia asks her if she knows how to swim.
- Transitions are weird.
- Pressia sees Bradwell and asks him about the Cadet who couldn't swim. Bradwell knows she was snooping around.
- They play the blame game (like they always do), and then Bradwell talks about Arthur Walrond and the Cadet who drowned.
- His theory: Walrond knew that Willux actually murdered Novikov. But he couldn't accuse Willux, so instead he praised him sarcastically in the article, calling him a hero.
- After story time, they exit the gazebo and see one of the mothers: she's fused to her child, and as tough-looking as ever.
- If you're wondering what happened to El Capitan and the spider, we are too. It seems like he just hasn't told anyone about the spider yet.
