Chapter Summaries & Analyses
When Red arrives, Blue is dead. Red can see how hard she fought to resist the pain of the poison and die in a composed position. In Blue’s hand is a real hand-written letter with Red’s real name, which Blue should not have known, on it. Both Garden and the Agency are sending things to destroy this strand, so Red grabs the letter and runs, even as enemies chase her. She runs through many time strands and ends up on a cliff at the end of the world. Now that Blue is dead, she doesn’t care about anything anymore. She reads the letter and feels the shadow behind her. Blue writes that, of course, she had to read Red’s letter and she had to write back, even though it’s taking every last bit of her strength. Blue thinks it’s funny that Red’s side will win now that she’s dead. The letter implies that Blue believes that Red was playing with her all along as a double agent, and she did it brilliantly. She thanks Red for their time together. After Red reads the letter, she hands it to the Seeker and then steps off the cliff.
