Is that her?

[thorny]

Maybe.

I had thought she was a ghost -- she and Onni seemed to agree that she's dead. But maybe Onni thinks the human part of the people who turned into trolls are dead? -- just read through the section again, and while Onni does seem sure that she's dead and she at first agrees, a few pages later she says she thinks she died but she can't really remember. (page 568, and then 571)

If that is her: I wonder how in control she is.

But if that is her, and she can help the ghosts finish dying and then let herself do so: can she also free into death the (other) people caught in trolls?

My personal guess about her real-world state became "building-bound troll" as soon as a I realized that Reynir needing to find her rather than the other way around could mean that she was physically unable to leave the church.

Otherwise, that page gave me a sad thought: between only seeing trolls already changed and Tuuri dying before risking it happening to her, I think this page may be Reynir's first time really realizing that trolls used to be people.

However, I also have a question that is worth pondering: the "ghost" guess was legitimate in part because of what looked like Rash "cure" syringes on page 574. If they are indeed the "cure", how does one of the place's patients ends up becoming a troll in the first place? (besides the possibility of the stuff simply running out)

We don't know that she accepted dosing from the vials.  I consider it likely that she deferred to selflessly give the quite limited 'cure' to others, rationalising that younger people had better use of it than she.

[Grade E cat]

That makes sense indeed. It also makes her an important witness to what happened with the cure, if she remembers any of it (I've been wanting to see the crew connect the dots about the cure since the end of Chapter 12, so I'm going to let myself cling to that for a couple days).

Whoever it is knows Reynir's name, and it isn't the Black Speech.

Double posting a bit here, but I made an edit of todays page. I am pretty convinced that the giant is pastor A... and I kinda hope Reynir will not walk away from the door.

Gonna have so many nightmares...

Thank you, I aim to please!

Good question, Reynir.

But I suspect there's about to be plenty of freaking out done, if not by Kitty.

Pssst -- hey guys. Aren't you making rather a lot of noise?

Many churches are reknowned for their acoustics, it's always so uplifting to hear that delightful resonance.  Makes you want to lift up your face to the heavens and...<mikkel> mother of God, what is that thing?</mikkel>

Hahahaha I hope he doesn't check the closet without previous warning!

[thorny]

Hey, Reynir's growing up! -- Don't push the mage around, he knows things you don't know!

-- is it a closet, or did she take up residence in the confessional? Do churches of that type have a confessional?

[Grade E cat]

I'm partial to it being the room in which she invited Reynir and Onni for tea, which between its last use being more than a year ago and Minna's various quirks, ended up on the other side of the entrance compared to where it originally was.
