SO Chapter 6
Summary
Jolyne stares in shock at the tiny limbs that fell out of the bird, but notices that Gwess is approaching. She hides behind a corner, deducing that Gwess had gotten an ability from the stone within Jolyne's amulet. As she ponders, Jolyne notices blood pouring from the walls. She also sees the bird's corpse, which is now the same size as her. Jolyne has been greatly reduced in size.
From the corner, the seemingly giant Gwess appears and grabs Jolyne. Gwess returns to her cell and throws Jolyne onto her desk. Gwess tells her that she has grown fond of Jolyne and wants to become good friends. Gwess asks Jolyne to help her escape from the prison. Jolyne asks about the man within the bird, but Gwess scolds her for speaking up, throwing a hollowed out rat corpse at her.
Gwess forces her into the corpse, and begins training her to help Gwess's escape. Gwess places books on Jolyne for her to lift, but Gwess catches her cheating. Gwess is outraged, but quickly switches to praise and she compliments Jolyne's spirit. Jolyne wonders how she will survive this relationship.
