Yup! It turns out they give each other a name. Kate gives her the name Emilico and it turns out the random name she writes coincidentally becomes to Kate name.
The more I read and with the latest raws, the name Kate doesn't seem so random. She seems to have written Kate because of who she met in the circus tent.
Emilyko is so cute. Hate to see her sad. I'm glad she has good friends at her side and even a name given with love. The name Emilyko has even more meaning now.
But who was that in the tent? Was it a shadow not tied to the Great Grandfather but native to the area? But there would have been some soot traces around unless they have proper control of it.
An important character we see later on?
Heck, I even thought Kate, inspiring Emilyko to write Kate. But that's crazy.
Anyway, I like Emilyko liking the name Kate and it being the name later given to someone she cares about and in turn also receiving a beautiful name from said person (yes, I know shadows aren't human beings but they are pretty much human to me, at least most of them).
All in all, all chapters leave me on cliffhangers. I might as well join the circus for having mastered the art of holding on for a week every week and sometimes longer.
On another note, why are those ring master embroidery patches a thing? Some poor soul's life is being wasted away on making them.
