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.

Just had a little thought if Marsch was a shadow child.  The ending lines of the first novella.  " she had the child with her.  Someday they'll want us." 

If this is the shadow child, perhaps they are getting ready to take or be everyone on st. Anne.    Just a thought on a weird pronoun shift there- from the child to they- and shadow children say things like " I, for five"...
