Two more chapters left. Before you read, what loose ends are you hoping with be tied up and how do you think they will turn out?

I have some for the last two chapters.
Who is Spaz’s mother? Is it another latch boss, like Vida Bleek? Is she a Proov? Or is she a normal woman? That is very big for me.
Will we ever hear from Little Face/Bean/Lanaya ever again in the book? If so, what will they do? Also, will we hear from Jin and Bree?
I think Wryter will get wheeled. But how will Spaz feel? Is he going to be angry, sad, or both? If he isn’t wheeled, what will happen?
How will Spaz really react to the news? Is he going to go crazy, or will he just be surprised? And how will Billy react?
(Note: I have already read to the end of the book but these were the questions that I was hoping would be resolved.)
Are Bean and Spaz related somehow?
I thought they might be until we found out that Billy Bizmo was Spaz’s dad. Now I do not think they are.
Why is Bean so smart?
Once again, with Billy as Spaz’s dad, the number of options here are limited. Some sort of Proov Parent is possible but I do not think so.
Will Ryter make it?
Unfortunately I do not think he will. The book has been setting up a transfer of responsibility from Ryter to Spaz. Spaz is ready now so I think Ryter will have to go.
Will the Proovs help the Normals?
Some books might close with a ‘change of heart’ by the Proovs and sudden improvement for the Normals. In this book I think the author used the turning off of the Probes as a sign of good things in the future but the present will remain bleak.
How will Spaz react to the news of his father?
They will not become pals. Beyond that I am not sure.
Is ‘Latch Boss’ in the future for Spaz?
Interesting question but I do not think it will be resolved here. We may see some indication that he is a future leader.
Lanaya?
I do not think we will see her again in the book.
I just reviewed all of the "Ryter Writes" comments from the original page of the blog. I had never really noticed before how many of them dealt with memory. I think that Spaz will have to take over the keeping of the memories and that means that it becomes his job to write them down. Spaz has to become the new Ryter.
I'd like a resolution to who Spaz and Bean's parents are. I think somehow Bean is connected to the proovs. If not, she's just a demonstration to them that others are intelligent too. I want more for her- she seems like such a genuine person and is so important to Spaz.
I vote for Lotti Getts for Spaz's mother. Billy Bizmo deserves her, even if Spaz does not.
