in sum: • there's unspoken history between them both, herself and this "Player" • which, naturally, doesn't deter her from the conviction that she's gonna kill him • nor the conviction that she can, despite being unable to see • Wolfwood's moral grey area continues to grow • to put herself between danger and the girl who called her name is second-nature • so where does she draw the distinction between a life she desires to save and a life she leaves to the dogs? • who's the afraid of the Big Bad Wolf
points of note: • Wolfwood is completely blind for the entire duration of this memory, but it doesn't seem to have any negative effect on her fighting capability • there are direct parallels between Milly's aid here and the Vanara kids helping her in the game on Day 180 • the first use of the name "Chapel" in reference to her
