About this chapter
Beyond the Mother Bed, Fern opens the door marked Five and finds a fern drowning in an unfinished kindness. With Wren and Ida, she helps a dead propagation keeper loosen her grip on a promise, repots the plant and delivers it at last. Breakfast restores the living before fresh petals appear beneath Room Six.
