The Pagers sign off (for the time being) with a personal retrospective of how this project has changed their lives. We also take questions from the listeners who joined us for the live stream, read the final mail from the Mailbag, and let everyone know what's coming next. Outro music: Since You Been Gone by Rainbow

Auri rests atop the roofs, waiting for her friend. We talk about what Nate Taylor's illustration process might be, the odd perspective in the picture, and what the illustration does with time. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri thinks of what she'll do for Kvothe. We talk about the sinister turn these thoughts might be taking, uncover what might be a new crackpot theory, and question what Auri's knowledge of the Ciridae might mean. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Inspired by an action figure, Auri goes to put her face on. We ship an all-time bad episode as we fail to remember anything about the proceeding books and try to talk about what Kvothe thinks of Auris' gifts, who else Auri hangs with, the real-world history of cosmetics, and where Auri goes to poop. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Page 145: Sorrel To Bother You by Nick Alexander, Jordana Heney, & Jeremy Large

Vi and Dane have a tense discussion. As we move into the second act, we talk about how Dane sucks, the anticipation we've all been feeling about this moment, and how important it is for your protagonist to not always have a perfect plan for everything. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri debates doing something drastic to get this candle made. We open with our most sizzling open of all time, before discussing the nature of the moon as it relates to alchemy, how Rothfuss tantalizes us with the details (and lack thereof) of alchemy, and what Auri's relationship with Mandrag can tell us about the timeline of events. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri discovers a shaft up to the surface world.

Page 127: A Pleasure to Have in Class, Innit? by Nick Alexander, Jordana Heney, & Jeremy Large

Auri eats some pretty mid pea soup. We talk about the phrase “to a tee”, the wordplay in how Auri names things in the underthing, and give Jordana some advice.

Auri tries to decide what to do with her most perfect soap. We talk about why it's kissing soap, hunger pangs, and Jordana puts forth the theory of the Costco Effect.
