When Chise takes Philomena to her room, Alcyone says that Philomena is “very adverse to destroying things.” ‘Mena comes to and asks Chise why she’s being so nice to her. Chise’s response—that in Mena she saw someone kind but in pain, like her, whom she wanted to help if she could—perplexes Mena, who was bred never to help or accept help from others.
Chise tells Mena that she’s free to do what she wants, but those psychological blocks die hard. To whit: Lucy tries to be nice by offering a bottle of watter, but later tells Chise Mena would never trust any food or drink she did not obtain herself.
When Chise tells Lucy that she’s kind, Lucy admits she doesn’t fully trust her either. That’s fair, considering what Lucy’s been through, and the raw power she’s witnessed Chise demonstrating. Meanwhile, Mena doesn’t want to be someone who lacks the strength to break through the artificial barriers of her conditioning to take hold of her freedom.
But for now, that’s just who Mena is, as hammered home when he behavior seems to trigger a stored message in Alcyone from Mena’s grandmother. This message intends to stamp out any lingering wisps of rebellion from Mena. Her granny will never give Mena her freedom. But thanks to Headmistress Quillyn, she still has a chance to take it.
Outside the College, Muriel meets up with her white-haired contact, who turns out to be an ancient werewolf. What better beast to gather and track the scent of the book? Muriel transfers the nature of the book to the werewolf with a kiss; the sound design and visuals of his transition into, through and out of the intense “book world” is very craftily done.
The search through the city is accompanied by a very slick and jaunty bit of music with lots of cool Flamenco-esque rhythmic clapping. Muriel and the wolf reach a brick wall that Muriel unfurls with magic to reveal a secret shop. There, Muriel makes sure to spend liberally in order to get the proprietor to assist her (and not eat her).
The next day, Chise and her friends are studying when Philomena walks by with Alcyone. Chise waves hello, but Men recoils and retreats, clearly cowed by her grandmother’s message. But even if her relationship with Chise is quickly deteriorating, at least there’s progress on the book front.
Muriel and the wolf appear to have confirmed that the book and its user is in fact still within the College. Sure enough, a gloved hand uses the book on Jasmine St. George, who wakes up with a start. With the parameters of the search thus limited, the search for the book in earnest can begin. But I worry for the resulting dangers to come.
