So it's Lewis after all. And man. Anthony has become a full-blown cult leader. You can't get anymore cultish than "Church of Christopher".
When Lewis says the shadow with him failed unification, that made me wonder. Isn't he a unified shadow adult? Why does he have both shadow and human forms if the unification failed...? Or was he talking about a different human/shadow pair?
So what exactly is Anthony? Is he really just a human, or maybe he is a human who (somehow) gained shadow form and power from a failed unification? Or he and Lewis are both shadow adults who lie and pretend the unification failed, but in reality they are just a different group of rebels plotting for a coup against the top shadows? This chapter just raises more questions than answers.
Damn, the delay in our protagonists' operation meant that a different faction got to Louise and Lou first. I can't even tell if they intend for her to complete unification, or perhaps "fail" it and become like them, or stay as separate beings like Kate and friends want her to. It would be interesting if Ram gets there soon, but it could also be dangerous for her, since Anthony can just kill her like he did with Maggie. This is a very tense situation.
