Arc

Remembered: Pontiff's mallet is like the one 'the late Brandon' carried (ch. 19); 'Being human was what I’d said to Brandon' (ch. 60); a name in Donut's dream-speech to the giant shell of Imani — 'people named Yolanda and Brandon and Elle' (ch. 87); Elle, folded in a wrecked truck: 'I haven’t been folded like this since Brandon showed us how to use Tinder' (ch. 96).
