Jamison’s advice to Kira suggests that Kira is growing up even faster than we realized: she’s already ready to begin work on the robe. It’s unclear what sort of work she’ll be asked to do on it, but it’s clear that she herself will have little to no say in the matter. It’s also in this section that we begin to understand how powerful Kira really is: even though it’s the Council that’s allowed Kira to live among them, Kira is the one with the power to depict the future.
