she is tethered incredibly firmly to her destiny and has found a way to quietly and carefully integrate it into the life that she wants to lead, but this isn’t what she wants.


Meanwhile, jenny is upset about the situation with her family because she CAN’T escape her responsibility to them she keeps this a secret because it undercuts the free and easy image she presents to the rest of the world. he wants people to think that he is steadfast. eyghon is kept under wraps in giles’s life because he doesn’t want anybody to know that he isn’t as dedicated to the job as people seem to think. he actively tried to remove himself from the destiny he was forced into, acting out and making incredibly self destructive choices, and this path led directly to the death of one of his friends. the whole flexible identity thing is literally Right There it’s what causes the initial rift between them - but it’s also really interesting that jenny’s situation with her family is the inverse of giles’s deal with eyghon.įor giles, eyghon is a part of his past that he keeps secret because it represents his attempt to ESCAPE his responsibilities.

there is so much insanely cool stuff going on wrt the way they mirror each other.
