Sedge

The child that was given a name

Teva kneels beside a tub where the newly hatched Sedge rests

Sedge is named for the grass that grows on graves — and it hatched from one. The ferrywoman Teva found the broken shell in the mound on the Old Wall.

She hid it under her landing and taught it a single signal: two knocks on the wood. Everything that follows in the film begins with that sound.
