DavidM here, vacationing for the past week, posting from the home of a friend:

When I read descriptions of Nora, I think of Katje.  They are both described
via poetry as exquisitely beautiful and sophisticated.  They are both
associated with "autumnal" colors.  Their histories, though not disclosed to
us, are in some way "tragic."  Nora's "erotic nihilism" recalls Katje's game
with Blicero. Both are familiar with the Zero.

Question:  What is Nora's function in this group (of mostly men) who exhibit
psychic sensitivity?  The others have particular skills.  Nora, the
fascination of these others, has not yet shown us her psychic "thing."  Is
her skill the ablility to turn full-faced into the Zero?  Is she useful to
Them for that ability?  How?
