The master of the house is intimately aware of all of the bones that comprise his body. There’s one bone that’s missing, though, and he wants to get it back.
Olivia tries to decipher her father’s drawings as her mother’s ghoul looks on. The ghouls point out of the window, toward the garden wall, and Olivia decides to go out and investigate, taking the journal with her. At the door in the wall, she finds a narrow opening between the stones. The journal fits inside it perfectly, and Olivia realizes that her parents used to pass the book back and forth at this spot to communicate. The journal falls through to the far side of the wall. Olivia climbs the wall and goes to the other side to retrieve the journal. The wind picks up, scattering pages of the journal that had been ripped out years ago by a cruel girl at Merilance. Olivia collects the pages and when she looks up again, she finds that Gallant is no longer visible. She stands in a world of dead plants and rotting gardens, and she sees now a second Gallant at the head of the garden.
