that's actually sounding more likely at the moment. The only think that worries me is that the authors are going to fall back on the "militantly matriarchal" thing, where sons are killed, which never sat well with me. I hope there's another reason Gil living is significant and might bring Skiffandrian retribution even after all this time.

Yeah this "Gil's Adopted" theory is started to look far less stable than when I first wrote it.
