Adelaide sets up her trap on the lip of the caldera. She's chosen the lowest slope, the part that allows easiest access to the burning hot Cornucopia. Here, she sticks the primary colored pinwheel in the ground, mounding the earth around its base so it might stay upright. Then, she scotch tapes the remaining polaroid shots - all but one - to the tips of the pinwheel. They are so bright and shiny in the direct, unrelenting sunlight. She uses much of the rest of the scotch tape to make a sort of chain, wraps it around the base of the pinwheel, and then tapes the last polaroid to the chain. It looks like a necklace for the pinwheel. Upon the polaroid shot, she uses the very last of her henna to ink:
For the ones we've taken and sent
to do our bidding and for the lives
they bid us to take, I ask only
your mercy.
The Word she caught while working on the trap sits on her shoulder. She gently takes hold of it; it's too mesmerized by the spinning wheel, caught in the arena's wind, to notice anything at all. Adelaide whispers, "tell your friends I've built you a shrine," and sets the Word free.
