Cy and Addie play around with the oracle cards Cy created for her mythology project. Addie draws Artemis, the goddess of hunting, who wanted to stay a maiden forever; Cy theorizes this foreshadows an event in Addie’s life that will force her to grow up and mature. She also explains that Artemis is a twin, which signals that Addie has a “symbolic twin” or a “dual nature.” They discuss Addie’s email to Manny and wonder whether he will write back.
After school, Addie takes the Bravo biography back to the historical society and apologizes for pocketing it. Rudy admonishes her but appreciates her honesty. He asks her to promise never to break his trust again, and then he agrees to keep her informed if any more information about the Bravos comes his way.
A few weeks pass, and Addie still hasn’t heard back from Manny. Her online research reveals that none of the Bravos wrestle anymore; Francisco is too old, Mateo retired, Speedy died many years ago, and Manny disappeared after losing a wrestling match.
Marlene notices that Addie is still in a bad mood and determines she is sulking about her father.
