Wilder
A colleague of Jack’s at the College-on-the-hill. Winnie is a relatively young neuro-chemist whom everybody on campus regards as brilliant, an assessment that makes her sheepish and reclusive. When Jack finds Babette’s stash of Dylar, he tracks down Winnie, who is hard to find because of her wish to slink around unnoticed. When Winnie first analyzes the pill, her tests are inconclusive regarding Dylar’s purpose, but she later finds and shares a scholarly article with Jack that outlines not only the drug’s intended use, but also the controversial story of Willie Mink and his anonymous test subject, whom Jack knows to be Babette.

You have to ask yourself whether anything you do in this life would have beauty and meaning without the knowledge you carry of a final line, a border or limit.
