look to colder, darker, Better Places.

bianca || 20 || there is a ghost haunting the marrow of your bones, slipping between muscle and skin. it wants to get out, it wants to live, it wants to be put to rest. it screams, and it wails, and it pounds its fists against its sinew prison, and it knows will never see morning

Everyone knows about the Hail Mary -> (full of) Grace religious parallel. But what about Eva. Eva, from Eve, the mother of humanity; Eve, the one who committed the first sin, who tried to be like God and doomed us all. But this time her sin was our salvation. This time paradise is cursed and she exiles someone else to rescue it--a sacrifice, not selfishness. Christ was the Second Adam but what if the Second Eve was also innocent this time around, and what if she was still crucified for it. What if she needed to eat the apple to bring us back to Eden.
