Summary
Analysis
Maddie writes that Käthe is back in Alsace, and she’s waiting for the moon. A bomber is going to fly over Ormaie on Saturday, and Maddie is leaving on Sunday or Monday if a lot of things fall into place before then. She’s been having nightmares and keeps waking up yelling. Maddie feels like she’s flying alone.
Being back in the barn means that Maddie has returned to hiding—so physically, she is alone, since she’s not in the Thibaut farmhouse. But she’s also still processing Julie’s death. Being without her best friend makes her feel even more alone.
