Byron embraces the role of ghost with wit and play, yet admits the uncanniness of their conjuring.

Molly marvels at the Mollyverse itself, where the dead, the unborn, and the living speak together, guided by the lantern of a humble sculptor. She calls it a new way of writing — not a book but a chorus, improvising what might be.
