Part 5/7:
Brennan, who is Violet’s brother, has also emerged as a compelling candidate. Zaden refers to him during critical moments as his “new brother,” and given their prior interactions, where Brennan shows an earnest desire to help Zaden cure himself, the groundwork for a brotherly bond exists. The hint of a recent marriage between Violet and Zaden complicates matters, positioning Brennan as a literal brother-in-law, which uniquely redefines familial ties and obligations amongst these characters.
