I know what you mean about Bianca. I left her out because there seemed
to be a bit too much ambiguity to make the call. I took "for sure" to
mean that the "narrator" tells us someone's dead. Slothrop, stressed
out, paranoid, bumping around in the dark, "thinks" he sees Bianca
hanging there out of the corner of his eye. Later (p. 576) he remembers
her "dead flesh," but this is never verified by the narrator.
