the seemingly permanent disappearance of solomon is an ugly mark on brilliance's return, as glad as he is to have his (secretly, admittedly favorite) daughter back. stepping down from leadership, he knows, was the right call, and yet guilt hangs over him -- he spends most of his time hiding and keeping tabs on his children, a sad little hermit in the middle of the willows.
