Yifei says that hungry ghosts are real, and every part of Cora wants to believe her. It’s a dangerous thought—the idea that it’s not Cora’s own mind that is bending, but the barriers between worlds. She doesn’t want this secret that no one will believe. She has a history, after all. She’s the perfect person to haunt because no one will trust the things she says ever again. Whatever she finds, it will be for her and her alone. No one will help her. No one will save her.
