“Physics doesn’t like it, but I think the sun and the moon both revolve around the world,” she murmured as she labeled her Speranza-centric model. Oliver moved closer, bending down to peer at her scratchings. “Anyway… The stars. They must be fixed points in an outer layer of some sort,” she muttered angrily, speckling the perimeter of her model with swift stabs of her staff. I scratched my head, not sure why Nora was so discontented with her rationale so far. “Seems simple enough, I guess…” “You’re here,” Nora said, plonking her staff on Speranza. “Do you know how dense you’d be if it were true?” “Look, I know I’m not the brightest, but you don’t have to go insulting me!” Nora’s eyes almost rolled into the back of her head. “Literal density! Not intelligence. You’d be one of the densest objects in the universe! Speranza would have to be a gravity well, holding on to everyone and everything!” “So it’s just magic then,” I replied airily, knowing that would make her even more annoyed. “Magic.”
New chapter. Nora talks about how the world doesn't work right, so Rae hits her with the "it's magic" argument, since magic is just science not yet explained.
