16. Breaking (Bellamew, Hava)
Bellamew learned early in her sculpting career that every stone has its shatterpoint: strike that, and the entire block crumbles to pieces. It was Leck who taught her that this applies to people too.
Hava is her shatterpoint. To lose her, this magical Graceling child, would break her entirely. This is why Bellamew hides her and lies about her death: to preserve what little sanity she has left. But when Leck discovers Bellamew's lie, none of his tortures can convince her to give Hava up. Her last thoughts are clear.
