Claire Beans (she/they) and Han Koehle (it/all) discuss Chapter 22 of Gideon the Ninth. We're coming to the end of Act III and the stakes are higher than ever. The teens call in assistance, but the adults are a disaster.

Content Warning: death, human remains, gaslighting, implicit reference to harm against children
