How It All Goes Down
Pressia (Cadet)
- Bradwell suggests Pressia ask Fignan about her parents. She doesn't have the nerve to.
- Bradwell also realizes that Pressia was probably fluent in Japanese, since she was raised there. She just doesn't remember it.
- A knock on the door: an officer is calling Bradwell because El Capitan ("Cap" as Bradwell refers to him) wants to see him.
- Pressia randomly remembers the words Seven swans a-swimming. Okay, so we recognize this as the lyrics from the "Twelve Days Of Christmas," but this has a weird undertone of significance in her situation.
- Pressia asks Fignan about her parents, and its arm darts out and pulls her hair.
- She snoops around Bradwell's office a little bit, and then takes down the newspaper clippings.
- The article reads: International Cadet's Drowning Ruled Accident. The boy's name was Ivan Novikov.
- Hmm. Aribelle said "Ivan" was one of The Seven back in Pure.
- Pressia reads the rest of the article. Apparently Ellery Willux, who was another Cadet, tried to save him. This was all recalled by another person, Cadet Walrond.
- Okay so let's go over this: we know Ellery Willux and Ivan were in The Seven, and Cadet Walrond was a friend of Bradwell's parents.
- By the way: Seven swans a-swimming. Think about it in conjunction with the article. These people were all swimming, and they referred to themselves as swans.
- Bradwell finally walks in on Pressia talking out loud to Fignan. He tells her he's going to the city to check out the girl El Capitan found.
- Pressia tells him that she's going with him.
