i must not get takeout. takeout is the wallet-killer. takeout is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the kitchen, fridge, and pantry. i will make choices about what to cook and then execute them. when hunger is gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.

“If you are not the free person you want to be you must find a place to tell the truth about that. To tell how things go for you. Candor is like a skein being produced inside the belly day after day, it has to get itself woven out somewhere. You could whisper down a well. You could write a letter and keep it in a drawer. You could inscribe a curse on a ribbon of lead and bury it in the ground to lie unread for thousands of years. The point is not to find a reader, the point is the telling itself. Consider a person standing alone in a room. The house is silent. She is looking down at a piece of paper. Nothing else exists. All her veins go down into this paper. She takes her pen and writes on it some marks no one else will ever see, she bestows on it a kind of surplus, she tops it off with a gesture as private and accurate as her own name.”

— Anne Carson, “Could 1,” from Candor

Oh, and here's some wild speculation: yes, Thjazi had some kind of plan to meet with Mara in the underworld, but something went wrong with it, which is why he was so alarmed to see her at the execution. Maybe she was supposed to be waiting on the other side?

But crucially, what Thjazi didn't plan for was Julien spitting on his corpse and ruining the funerary rites, meaning Thjazi's spirit never got anywhere Nullus could find it.

Maybe he's been riding Julien's shadow all this time, which would be hilarious, but the comedy of Julien inadvertently saving Thjazi's soul by desecrating his funeral would be more than enough for me.
