Another episode of two halves, with moments of quiet connection and battles filled with chaos. This week, Hollie reflects on Elowen’s growing fears for I. As he finds a new tribe and grows into himself, she worries he moves further away from the kobold ideal. We also look back at the bond between Dolly and Elowen. Two people far from the home they once shared, walking very different paths but tied together in ways that still matter. And maybe, we wonder, do all women who leave Mouse change their names? Neither Hollie nor Elowen are built for hijinks, and in this fight, that helplessness felt sharp. What should she do, what could she do? Sometimes, you can see the fall coming and know there is nothing you can do to stop it. But if there is one thing Elowen knows, it's that she would not risk herself for recklessness.
