At midday on the day of Annabella's death, Kira notices the men constructing a new dyeing place for her near the Edifice. It looks to be a much grander facility than Annabella ever had, and Kira mourns the lost of her friend and teacher. The men also bring all of Annabella's materials, and Jamison tells Kira that Annabella's cott still remains standing. Since Annabella died in her sleep, there is no need to burn her home.
Kira asks Jamison if she may watch over Annabella's spirit in the Field of Leaving, but he says that her work on the robe is more important and the time is short. Someone else will watch over the old woman's spirit so that Kira can finish her task before the time of the ceremony arrives. Kira the goes and talks to Thomas to ask about what it was like coming to live in the Edifice as a tyke. They also explore the possibility of them becoming artists. They then decide to visit Jo that night.
Discussion ?s
1) What do you think Kira thinks about Annabella's death and her new place? Does she think she will enjoy it or not. Why or why not?
2) What do you think Kira should do to finish learning all of the colors? If she has learnde them already, how will she complete her assigned task in time?
3) Why would Kira ask Jamison to watch over Annabella's spirit? Why would Kira be interested in doing that? Explain your thinking.
4) Do you think that Kira enjoys making the Singer's robe or does she do it to save herself from going to the Fields? Debate this with the other group members.
