Avary is close to her dad. Therefore, should Bailey be close to her mom to contrast that?
Which brings up the question, is Bailey and Sawyer's mom a spy?
It could add interesting dynamics because Ryan is the one who leaves, while Bailey deals directly with the consequences of that. Ryan was the leaver, and Bailey was the one left behind. It would solidify Bailey and Ryan's relationship and give them stuff to talk about. And definitely sort through.
Ryan - sort of named after baby Ryan. Which is interesting considering this is essentially a book on death and what you leave behind.
In Dreamer, they built up to breeding Sonador so they could race her foal or sell her filly or whatever -- and after all this drama, they discovered Sonador was infertile. That was incredibly depressing, but they found a way out of it. I love it when there's no way out and then you find one. I just need to figure out how to incorporate it into this story.
Does Clark have a truck? Maybe. (I realized tonight I drew a ton of inspiration for Clark and Avary from Dreamer. O.o)
The reason they are at the waterfall/beach scene COULD be that Dr. Flan miscalculated and dropped them at a random spot, so they're lost in the wilderness. Or, are they purposefully camping? Ooh, they could be camping out on the first time, trying to get their bearings of the new world before they go find Gesparo.
There are some things you can't leave behind.
That's becoming this story's tagline. I love how things that have been dormant for a long while are now finally, finally coming together. Like the line above. I always knew it had SOME bearing on the story, but it never fit in. Until now. It's like all the pieces of a mosaic falling into place, and I love it.
I've been collecting all the pieces for a long time. Now they're finally coming together. They're my souvenirs.
Thank you, Papa.
