This parallelism is solidified when Cassia's grandfather reveals the secret paper of poems within her compact just before he dies: just as his time runs out, Cassia's capacity to ever go back to normalcy ends. Even if she would like to put him out of her mind to focus on her happy Match with Xander, her grandfather's encouragement wonder about him sets an alternate mindset in motion.
For her, the appearance of Ky's face signifies a change. In the same way that his time is running short in the face of his impending Final Banquet, she feels that the aspects of her life which have allowed her a typical sense of normalcy have limited time remaining. When she learns that her father is keeping a secret from her mother, for example, she is forced to call their perfect Match into question, and, by extension, her Match with Xander.Īt the end of Chapter 6, Cassia observes a foreshadowing parallelism between her fate and her grandfather's fate. Cassia continually uses her parents as a point of reference when gauging her dedication to Xander. The biggest example of parallelism is that of relationship between Cassia's parents and the relationship between Cassia and Xander.
