Sarah and Garnet’s relationship deepens. She admits she initially helped him out of academic curiosity, but now she sees his sensitivity as strength, not weakness. They share a quiet moment by the river, where Garnet releases the black stone back into the water. He no longer needs it.

Now I can go.” stones by william bell chapter summaries
