Dain’s signet means people are afraid of being touched by him. Sloane’s signet means she’s afraid to touch other people.

They are each others balance.

A first year in Fourth Wing (a marked one he was warned about of the rebellion he was raised against) & the third year Wing Leader whose father is responsible for killing her brother; making them “should-be-enemies” yet, they have impeccable chemistry. Challenging each other as one of them was rather by the books (but is slowly fraying/changing) and the other a walking rebellion, pushing them into the gray middle ground; creating a balance between them. From the moment one first says, "I’m going to hurt you" & the other "gods don’t I know it" —

… Much like "You’ll be the death of me & "she’d be the best thing that ever happened to me, I’d be the worst thing that ever happened to her" … sound familiar?

Making them the balance to the last time this happened.

Their signets are the balance, and may very well change the war… Her siphon as a signet which could be the counterpart to the Venin; as instead of draining life, she is “life”. And where a main character is now missing (what may be) crucial memories, his signet allows him to find and see memories; which could help if they don’t wish to be found.

They are the balance.

Some things I keep in mind while writing Mai as a young adult (Because I'm realizing I rarely write Ghost Hunt in the canon timeline; it's always ten years later or so.):

Due to her retrocognitive dreams/visions, Mai has experienced extremely vivid recreations of the following:

She's had her throat slit. (Miyama Case)

She's been decapitated. (Yoshimi Case)

She's been thrown off a cliff. (Yoshimi Case)

She's been murdered by a home invader. (Akumu no Sumu Ie)

Ghost Hunt kinda contradicts itself by stating in Akumu no Sumu Ie that she hasn't had any of the violent dreams since Eugene was gone, implying he's the cause, but in the Yoshimi Case, he directly says he's not the cause of her dreams and only guides her. (And even if he was in full control of her visions, would he really be psychopathic enough to put another person through that?)

My point is, she's died four times in canon and that is only in her first year of ghost hunting. Not to mention everything else SPR has dealt with that revolves around the morbid theme of death. Ten years on...this is a psychological mess waiting to happen and, honestly, I'm here for it.

"Bergson, drawing upon his filter theory of consciousness, suggests that it is possible that 'we perceive virtually many more things than we perceive actually, and that here, once more, the part that our body plays is that of shutting out from consciousness all that is of no practical interest to us, all that does not lend itself to our action' (ME 95–96). Given this he asks if it is not also possible that 'around our normal perception' there is an unconscious 'fringe of perceptions' associated with psi phenomena that occasionally enters into our consciousness 'in exceptional cases or in predisposed subjects' (ME 96)."

Five years after the brutal beating of Reno’s favorite public access celebrity, her killer is finally behind bars – and the popular young DA who convicted him is running unopposed in Nevada’s upcoming gubernatorial race. However, when an investigative journalist with a penchant for the past has a paranormal vision of what really happened that fateful June afternoon, she begins to wonder if local law enforcement may have put away an innocent man. Searching for a sellable scoop, she quickly finds herself entangled in an unusual affair with the would-be governor – a Type A leviathan whose own secrets send the feds straight to her office. After being placed under 24-hour surveillance by a remarkably disagreeable field agent, she has no choice but to discontinue her work on the case – until one day, she lets slip a critical detail that piques his interest… And forges an unlikely partnership.
