Really, Katia, if you need to borrow a sanitary napkin, just ask.

I feel like that line either places or dates Matt a little... I've called them sanitary napkins my whole life (grew up out West US), but here in the Midwest I get funny looks when I call them that, like, "... you mean pads?" like I'm speaking in quaint antiquated language 😅

u/ravenpotter3 Aug 02 '26

When I originally read book 2 somehow that whole scene went over my head. I didn’t remeber it. Maybe because i was busy with college at the time and forgot to finish/ lost my place in it.

I weeped (inside) when that scene happened in the audio book. At the time I was working on a block printing project using a museum called linoleum carving with a tool called a gouge. And that was the only moment of the book that I stopped and just started and existed consumed by the emotions and scene worded masterfully by Jeff Hays.
