but the math didn't work out.
I was just wondering aloud if that may have been an additional impetus for Justine to get Thomas to feed on her again. I've been curious for a while now. But yeah, not "THE question"
Yeah...have not thought about this at all...except that I have seen no past references in the books that Justine is emotionally unstable as she was previously in the series. It is entirely possible that she is reverting but I don't think so. I would recommend reading Even Hand for some alternate perspective into Justine's character.
As far as the tree being the parasite, I don't buy it. I think that whatever Demonreach encompasses (sic), the intellectus ascribed to it would seem to be indicative that it has taken the entire island to be its domain. I think that this is further backed up by Demonreach referring to itself as "here" when "providing nourishment" through root-shaped IV's and then referring to a completely different parasite maintaining blood flow.
Again...this is just my two cents...Please continue the discussion. Hope I haven't intruded too much.
