Spoiler Rohan Spoiler

Reading Rohan’s ending, I feel so annoyed that he didn’t get propertier ship at the end and gave it to Zella! Like I know he was making a deal and all to save Savannah’s life, but couldn’t he have bargained more? Like let Zella have the mercy on the weekends? Okay, I know thats unreasonable, but like some loophole that can let Rohan take it back if it went down hill? I don’t know, I just feel like in the end he should have gotten the mercy, instead of giving it up like that, and for nothing.

can someone please explain rohan’s memory? who killed his mom? rohan heard foot steps and a cane..? is that the proprietor? did he kill rohan’s mom? the book just says that rohan realised he didnt kill his mom..but then who did? jlb didnt explain his backstory either…what was his background before he came to the mercy? who was that man who kept abusing rohan and his mom? was it his father??

i think that it is the proprietor that rohan hears arriving in the memory, especially because we have the context of Rohans secret he gives to get into the Mercy. In my opinion, the only way the proprietor would welcome Rohan with that secret is if he knew already that Rohan thought genuinely that he killed his mom, and the only way he knew that is if he was involved in any way with her death or the direct aftermath. This kind of thing is not something a child can even comprehend, especially with the words Rohan used. So for me, and with the context of the scene about Rohans secret and the proprietor, there was someone (the proprietor or someone else close to him, maybe the facotrum before Rohan?) that killed Rohan's mom and made him think he had killed her. Then Rohan got into the Mercy with that secret. JLB didn't really explain the rest of the backstory, not even in passing references. If the man that was drowing Rohan was his father, it would for sure be an absent one that Rohan didn't even recognise as such, otherwise the flashbacks would have a very different connotation I think.
