Cost of SurvivalTheme
Characters throughout the story lose something in the act of continuing, whether it is Sam's arm, the wizard's symbols going dark and leaving him looking worn to his last useful shape, or Sam walking through a door without his usual remarks. Survival is shown as a process of subtraction rather than endurance.
