so basically in the story adelaide 'excuses herself from life' at sixteen, and she was codependent on carwyn

carwyn gets older, marries their mutual friend (queer platonic dynamic) and for lack of a better word, 'gets over' adelaide

BUT THEN addy, briar and aelions daughter, turns seventeen, and everything comes back to carwyn because adelaide said she'd run away with her when she turned seventeen. so carwyn takes addy on a roadtrip and visits adelaide's grave.
