Jude hasn’t approached Stacy since the hotel. Is he confused, afraid, or just plain angry? But his actions affirm his conviction—the woman in the costume shop isn’t his roommate. Two contradictory impulses compel me; first, to ease Jude’s tension, and second, to solve Bleu’s mystery. Even if I wanted to banish the ghost, which I don’t, I wouldn’t know how to. I suspect she’s not leaving until I help her. Although the thrill of reliving her city is apparent, another purpose keeps her earthbound. The imageless vision with the knocking, and chiming bells is fragmented because she’s forgotten aspects of that rainy night. Bleu wants answers. She’d felt great regret for loved ones when she drowned. Does she seek to reconnect with their spirits?
