On the way to Liverpool, Mika uses periodic speed spells and explains to Jamie how they work. They stop so that Mika can forage in the woods. Jamie joins her. They talk again about the difference between niceness and kindness. Mika confesses that when she’s afraid and alone, the magic around her brings her comfort. Jamie tells Mika how his father’s journals got him through a rough time when he felt afraid and alone.
In the car, Mika takes magic notes on her phone. Jamie is enamored by her love of magic. Mika describes the other witches of the Society, who all live very different lives and all have very different relationships with magic. Mika hates to admit it, but she’s most like Primrose because both have spent their lives alone and devoted themselves to magic. Mika has bounced from job to job because magic is the only work she’s passionate about. She dreams of opening her own potions and tea shop, cozy and packed with jars of herbs and bubbling cauldrons. However, Mika doesn’t believe that the world has places that are friendly toward witches and magic. Jamie wants her to hold out hope.
