Not a real doctor... Might actually be a potato.

I just love everything about it. It's so important to me. How it comes to the end

SPOILERS AHEAD.

When it's revealed what Good Stab is actually after, how he punishes Arthur Beaucarne, how he leaves his fate to the hands of his great x3 granddaughter.

How at the end, when she sees him and the other Blackfeet people leaving from their memorial, and he is with them, he is with his people. and how she recognizes him, not as a vampire, but as one of his people.

That's what takes Good Stab's story through, that he never stops being Pikuni. He is always Pikuni inside, no matter what he ever looked like, no matter what he turned into. He knew what he was. At some point while reading, I thought that it might end with him eating mice until he turned into one like he kept saying he would, but I realized that for the story structure it would be better if it didn't go that way, and I'm glad it didn't. He lives. He carries all the stories he knew and lived. He is The Fullblood, he is Other, but he is Good Stab most importantly and firstly.
