Wow, well said and a very good summary of much the way I feel: Jacy and Killian are somewhat bonded in my mind, they experienced the same dream and have worked so well together. I know Jacy can have visions that don’t necessarily require a close bond, but he and Killian do share more…which is why I was so very disappointed that Killian didn’t check on Jacy’s whereabouts or status as he himself was released?? Even with Jacy running though the woods to check up on Killian, Killian just leaves… 😢
I don’t see Killian just up and leaving Novak or even trying to relocate to be near Micah; he has too much there…his adopted family, his mentor, and his reputation that supports his thriving business demand. I don’t see Micah changing course either, as he knows he will always be second in Killian’s quirky, investigative, and gifted mind.
Asher…is just Asher, and he lacks his on confidence and direction, but he doesn’t love Killian as he is, he just wants Killian’s confidence and he wants Killian to give him what even Micah can’t get…his undivided attention and devotion to prioritize him as the most important thing in his life.
Yup, Seth was absent, why? He has appeared when sensing Killian in danger or that Killian needed help understanding the unexplainable; yet, White Deer appears multiple times, to wake Killian so he could solve the site’s looters and the murderous souls. Perhaps that is why he said it’s not Killian’s time…because Killian may have been able to sleep though the lead-up to Ricky’s shooting and perhaps to have maintained his cover?? It’s still strange that Seth didn’t appear.
It’s also a little strange to me, that Jacy’s gift didn’t kick in to foresee Killian’s life threatening situation…was that too like Seth and cancelled out because of the more powerful spirit of White Deer?
