Thea and Thecla

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

but we never meet that Severian...the one raised in the tower, and before
Thecla's memories...we only ever hear from autarch Severian writing it all
down.   Sometimes he tries to mask what he knows to simulate his old
ignorance, but it doesn.t always work.

In other words, a completely different woman than the one named was
strangled?

Catamites have been popular subjects of excruciations over the ages, Master
Malrubius probably mentioned them during school. It's the odd bits of common
observation that Severian seems to know despite being raised in the tower,
even before he gets Thecla's memories, that puzzle me.
