The “it was The Family that attacked” plan didn’t work before, I don’t see how a story similar to it would work now. I can only see it making Trout even more unstable and more dangerous towards the daisies.

Oh damn is she going to come clean!! Or pin it on Auklet?? If he’s dead then maybe she won’t panic much??

Givemeyourmilk

same thought. if she admits it was her, Trout might just become even more afraid of Sturgeon. At least Auklet can't say anything now- and it's not like he was exactly opposed anyway

Ooh blaming Auklet could work. And it could transition into a Thresher chapter that shows how Auklet died. Maybe he attacked Thresher before the new moon, or Thresher found out about the poisoning and Auklet took the fall. I'm convinced that Auklet's absence at the beginning of the series is due to being convicted of treason and killed by Thresher.

oh wait the family turned on him? that's a first

I feel like Sturgeon telling Trout will only make her more paranoid about all cats, even if she blames it on Auklet.

Unless Sturgeon has realized her endless web of hidden truths has to end- which I'm unsure of- she's probably going to say Auklet did. We haven't seen him in the present so I'm assuming he no longer lives to correct her stories if she does pin it all on him. Or... maybe saying Auklet did it with her would help dampen the blow? In Sturgeon's mind?

i’m worried this is gonna snowball into sturgeon confessing about being the one to set up the assassination attempt. i don’t know exactly how that would happen but i’m scared

“who would do that” erm…… she’s right next to me isn’t she……

Yeah I don’t see how, “don’t worry, it was wasn’t just any family cat, it was a) Me or b) Thresher’s own brother,” is going to read as comforting as much as a threat to Trout, especially given the paranoid state she’s in.

So now Trout is being told that The Family will kill her if she drops Thresher’s policies with the Daisies and The Family will also kill her if she maintains Thresher’s policies with the Daisies. I wonder what Sturgeon’s plan is to make Trout to have the preferred line of thought with this information.

Sebasxian10

Right, the message could come off as Trout’s never truly safe from her loved ones either, thus Hake’s “betrayal”.

I don’t think Trout will make the conclusion you want her to make, Sturgeon… she’s gonna think: 1) I’m in danger wether I appease the family or not 2) I could be betrayed even by my siblings 3) one of those siblings (sturgeon) already took part in the betrayal of a monarch/kept silent about it for so long
