The Shadow of the Wind..Part VII

Daniel meets Merceditas, whom seems to be interested in his father. During their meeting at the bookstore, they (Daniel, Fermin, Sempere, & Merceditas) are notified that Mr. Flavia was arrested and tortured for being a transvestite, left in a terrble state, with bruises, cuts, etc. Fermin keeps ip with Mr. Flavia's health, and states that what these people did was"moronic." Mr. Sempere allows Daniel to take the day off. Daniel decides to go pay a visit to Nuria Monfort, Isaac' s daughter. Nuria tells Daniel the story of how she met Carax, and the "few" things she knew about him. Nuria also mentions that Daniel reminds her of Carax himself. Throughout the conversation Daniel gazes at Nuria,feeling some sort of attraction, simultaneously discovering new details about Carax. It seems that the pieces of the puzzle are coming together.

Thus far, Daniel has adventured his way into finding out about Carax's past. Do you think that his insistence will pay off?

definitely. i think his persistence will lead to two things: finding Carax and getting into danger with Coulbert and or inspector Fumero.

I am not exactly sure if it would benefit him as much as it would reveal to him details of his very own life. As we've seen so far through the story, Daniel is learning much about his own life as he searches for Carax's. He may also find love during his search (with Bea).
