When the Moon Was Ours

Sam decides to rehang his moons all over town as a demonstration of his love for Miel even though she feels betrayed by him for keeping Aracely’s secret. While he’s painting, Aracely comes to his house looking for Miel. Sam believes Miel has been avoiding them, but Aracely shows him that her own wrist has begun bleeding, suggesting a connection with Miel’s.

Miel is bleeding out in the woods. She discovers she has wandered to the glass coffin, and thinks about the futility of the Bonner sisters’ wishes and how they have taken all her light, just as she thought they had stolen the moon the night she came out of the water town. Delirious, Miel collapses beside the stained-glass coffin.

Sam, Aracely, and Sam’s mother go looking for Miel. Sam finds Miel in the woods and tries to stop the bleeding, but Sam knows that she is dying.
