Chuckled at the "Cat Ears" reference, very cute. ; ) That was just too good not to do something with.
Questioning without hope of answering. That was my first thought after finishing this fic. Everything is presented in shadow and half-reveals, an uncertain landscape. . . I think I realized by the time I'd finished this that it was mostly about anxiety . . .
Though I am a little surprised you didn't pursue River's marked arms. I think they'd make an interesting jumping off point for rituals/superstitions. Hmmm, you're right. There probably is something interesting to be written there. I think in my head, though, they really are a utilitarian tally system until proven otherwise, so I'll have to leave it to someone else.
