Sophie and readers don’t have much backstory on why Howl and Megan’s relationship is so fraught, but the fact remains that Howl spends a lot of time thinking about his relationship with his sister. Despite having a supportive chosen family in the castle, Howl seems to still wish things were better in Wales. When it comes to the massive blue and silver suit, Howl insists again that Sophie has powers she doesn’t know about. In this case, Sophie may have unwittingly charmed the suit to try to keep Howl from going to the funeral—but all that seems likely to happen is that Howl will just do the magic to fix the suit himself.
