One of my biggest unlikely hopes for Part 2 is that Zelda will be revealed as a skill user and Save Me the Waltz can do something very specific and potentially game changing. Not in a combat goddess way—that wouldn’t really fit the themes of IRL Zelda Fitzgerald's writing or the shape of her legacy—but in a way which can make or break Francis, a bit like how IRL F. Scott Fitzgerald used IRL Zelda as an inspiration but worried her writing would destroy his reputation...
...and either Zelda uses her Ability against Francis after finding out what he is/has been up to, she won’t use it for him because he hasn’t been honest enough to let her know why there’s a need so she doesn't see the point, or he won’t ask her to use it even though he desperately could use her help and may fail without it because that doesn't fit into his idea of how he can/should treat her or because he can't bring himself to tell her the truth
