Setting• Long, harsh, ominous
Winter delays return to Geneva, Spring passes and now back to Fall.

Mood/Tone/Voice• Horror leads to suspicion• Hopeful, with a new family member,
Victor’s recovery, meeting old friends, seeing a beautiful city, etc. Great for bringing everything up and crushing hopes later.
• Ernest joining army doesn't sound good.
