Celeste again. =)
I bet a lot of people thought that I was going to have the fight be in this chapter, right after the last little cliff-hanger, but I wanted to draw the tension out a little more. This is the last fight of the book, it deserves to be built up a little.
The phone call with Gabe was originally going to be when Seraph was alone in her cell, but Woodson complained that Celeste wouldn't let her keep a phone on her because she could call for back up or the police or any number of things that could ruin Celeste's day. I was forced to agree, but I felt the conversation with needed to happen, thus its new placement. It was also longer, but Seraph said things that I felt she wouldn't say in front of Celeste, so they were removed.
Celeste's particular method of healing is, of course, really illegal in this world. As well it should be. I needed to have Seraph be in better condition to fight the oni, but it wasn't in Celeste's nature to do anything that isn't in someway horrible. I liked how she didn't understand why what she was doing was upsetting. Celeste is truly a psychopath to her core. And I get another opportunity to horrify and mess with Seraph. Win-win.
