#the sixth house is the emperor’s reason but the emperor’s personal reason fled him long ago so it all checks out i guess.

it is so funny to me that palamedes and camilla are set up as The Reasonable People in gtn and continue to be viewed though that lens by many other characters throughout the books but every single book just strengthens the hypothesis that they are actually kind of insane. like. they are absolutely unhinged. palamedes made himself a river bubble despite all existing evidence saying it was impossible to do and camilla scraped 96 tiny skull fragments off the floor and glued them together and they shared a physical form for six months and at the end of things they chose mutual destruction rather than confront the possibility of one person continuing to exist without the other. all of these things are backed up with theorems and mathematics but it does not change the fact that they’re not quite the actions of Normal People
