Must be 2020, everyone on this thread is obsessed with death and suicide.
Instead rejoice! We know Mort Lindquist survived, and we have an idea how, he went all Bruce Lee on the Fomor’s ass.
Rejoice! We know Harry has activated the Castle’s hidden defences and his Gargoyles are standing guard (in a very Harry like fashion, unfortunately).
Rejoice! whilst the Mantle is changing Molly, she has unlocked previously unexplored potential in that Mantle due to the influence of her father.
Rejoice! Toot and his crowd appear to have got a promotion to “the Royal Guard” and now is probably taller than Murphy (and they realised beer and pizza go together much better than milk and pizza).
Rejoice! All Chicago’s orphans got presents from “The Wizard of Chicago” an orphan himself, all instigated by Harry in Battle Ground.
Rejoice! We got to see a MUCH better version of Rudolph (with neither red nor brown nose) redeeming that name somewhat.
Rejoice! We got a Microfiction.
Exactly so! And as I personally have familiars who committed suicide (and I know I am not the only one here) I rather focus on the things to rejoice, that you mention, specially because suicide is in other books and not in this microfiction.
Now, a confession, I was VERY moved by the tag in the packages, I almost cry. I thought that was very, very sweet from Molly and something truly important for Harry. And yes, on the rational cold side, she is also growing Harry's influence, which is good for Winter, but we know she did it for love. And that is awesome!
And I repeat but it's important, Gargoyles! That is so perfect
Also, Marcone helped a lot of people. So even with the coin and with his own reasons, he is helping people. Harry will like that (and hate that), and I am sure that will be important in the eventual Marcone redemption (that I am sure will happen).
