There's something about Justine (PT and BG spoilers +WAG)

(1/7) > >>

Helga Ozark:
My partner and I have been arguing over Justine's true nature in PT. As a casual lurker on this site I thought I'd see what everyone else thinks.
Thomas keeps trying to say her name every time Harry tries talk to him (click to show/hide)after he is beaten by the svartalves. He's quite insistent about it even after Harry reassures him that he'll look after her and that she is safe. Then Grey called her a femme fatale.
(click to show/hide)Is this Butcher's way of foreshadowing? When Thomas keeps trying to say her name, is it as a warning rather than a question about her safety? Has Justine been nemfected?
My other WAG regards the sword of faith... (click to show/hide)I think it holds the key to curing Thomas and/or Justine and the baby. The sword will kill demons but not harm humans. I think Butter's will use it to kill Thomas or the baby's Hunger

Conspiracy Theorist:
Goodman Grey has been infected with Noir Syndrome (suffers blackouts where he internal monologues  like a hard boiled detective) he caught it from Harry. Check out Monsters his POV story. My god it actually makes more sense than Conjouritis, as you have two victims.

The spoilers have both been extensively discussed in their threads, Nemesis allow one to act without the normal restriction. Cat Sith wants to kill Harry from meeting him, he literally can’t because of his oath to Mab. Mortals operate under free will, it is pointless nemfecting them.

The exposition about the sword faith is important but whether it is important in the context of Thomas is another matter

morriswalters:
Thomas never says Justine's name.  Harry assumes it.  It means something, but your guess is as good as anybody's.

Your WAG about Butter's sword is probably on target, or else Jim wasted a lot of setup by going through that rigamarole about the sword not cutting flesh.

Thomas had to confront the harm he had caused.  He is a serial killer after all. Bet on the guy in the cell next door to be on top of that. My money was on Thomas dying. but it looks like I was wrong.

Very true, except when will Butters and Thomas get together?  However Butters may be able to kill the baby's Hunger saving both Justine and the baby..  Oh here is another far out WAG, until Thomas is released or dies, Butters stays with Justine and acts as a father to the baby.

Conspiracy Theorist:
What if to get the monster (Ethnui or Corb) Butters needs to slice through Harry or an innocent being held as a shield, it may be a set up for that. Use of the sword on a innocent destroyed or imperilled the swords. Someone relying on that now with this sword of Faith is really going to lose their head (which frankly would be poetic justice for Nudd). The old innocent trick has been tried twice in the DF and must have been used multiple times in the past. Not any longer.
