size=2><FONT face=Arial>James Wynn-<BR>There is no justification in the
story for [Horn's] spirit to subsequently die while Silk's lives. If
Silk's spirit dies, his body needs Horn's spirit. And that's what I argue
happened.</FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=+0><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Gerry
Quinn-<BR></FONT></FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>You say there's no
justification in the story... but then what do you think happens at the
end? My impression is that Silk returns somehow. At the least,
what remains at the end seems not to be Horn - it might be some kind of
merger of Horn and Silk I suppose. <BR></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Of course
it's not Horn. (I say) Horn died in the pit and even his memories--those
physically housed in his body--died on Green. By the time the Rajan begins
writing the story, all that is left of Horn is the memory of his memories.
Silk's memories live on physically, but his spirit has died. It is the
Neighbor that continues to animate him. Thematically, this is a
rationalization of the Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But something happens at the end, after the inhumi
attack the church. Up to now there has been this person who appears to be
Horn in Silk's body, although at some point we go from first to third person (no
point that appears special, though). Then suddenly something happens and the
text decribes him as Silk, as if Remora's mention of hyacinths had brought him
back.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If a Neighbour spirit is somehow animating Silk's
body, what's happening here?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Also, if a Neighbour replaced Horn in the pit, how
did he know Krait would come? If Krait (character list: the inhuma who was
adopted by Horn) hadn't come, it seems he would have lain there for ever and
died - died again, according to your theory. Unless the Neighbour had
planned it all with Krait (and their conversation seems to make it
doubtful) why would the Neighbour engage in such a pointless exercise,
effectively killing his own spirit for no good reason?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Also, doesn't it happen afterwards that the
Neighbours turn over Blue to Horn in return for certain considerations, in his
capacity as representative of the human race on Blue? If Horn is really a
Neighbourm how is this agreement legitimate?</FONT></DIV>
