fear-and-delirium

In this chapter, Kivrin and Agnes search for Father Roche, only to encounter a frightening figure they initially mistake for a cutthroat in the church. Kivrin's fear and confusion blur the lines between reality and delirium, culminating in the revelation that the threatening figure is actually Father Roche, who had previously given Kivrin last rites. The chapter explores Kivrin's struggle to reconcile her perceptions with the reality of her medieval surroundings and the people within it.
