a tomb all flooded with the dawn
  • I truly believe that this the healthiest interaction harrowhark has had in her entier life

    text reads Harrowhark bowed in return, and found herself saying, “The body of the Locked Tomb preserve you and yours, Pent,” and meaning it.  “Do you know what’s in there?” asked Abigail, eyes sparkling.   Harrowhark cleared her throat and said, “Yes.”  “Is it intensely mysterious?”  “Yes.”  “God, I love tombs,” said the Fifth House necromancer. “Right-o. The curtain lifts … Places, people.”ALT

    This is the first time anyone, especially an adult harrow respected, has implied that opening the tomb was a normal, understandle thing to want to do. This is one of the central sin of harrow's life, it is her greatest betrayel, and yet abigail is happy for her without prying about the personal private pain.

    It's not absolution, it's telling harrow that what she did wasn't even a sin.
