Where The Drowned Girls Go	comment	There are two schools for children who return from the doors. There's Eleanor Westâ€™s Home for Wayward Children, a welcoming place where they believe and welcome all that you are, where you can be safe and relatively content as you wait for your door to open.Then there's the school for those who want to forget. Those who presumably want to forget things too horrible or too wonderful. After the adventure in The Moors, Cora finds herself among that number. The drowned gods don't want to let go of a new catspaw. Now all she needs to do is convince Miss West to let her own nightmare happen, losing one of her students to the Whitethorn Institute.Cora's not swimming away from her problems, she's facing them head-on, but she's finding her new school has problems of its own. Should she place her own recovery over the fates of the rest of the students? Now it's time to gather allies and decide if her adventure ends here or not."Welcome to the Whitethorn Institute. The first step is always admitting you need help, and youâ€™ve already taken that step by requesting a transfer into our company."

After weeks of sleep deprivation, she's so desperate that she convinces Miss West to let her go to Whitethorn in the hopes that'll finally break their grip on her. After she wards them off, she sleeps well for the first time in a long time.

Where The Drowned Girls Go / int_723be11b	comment	Villain Has a Point: Cora eventually realizes that for children like Rowena and the headmaster whose worlds only brought trauma and grief, the Whitethorn Institute serves a very necessary purpose in helping them heal and forget. The problem lies in the fact that Whitethorn has quit caring about whether its students want to forget their worlds and just wants to enforce their way on everyone, and its highly abusive methods make it horrible even for willing students.

Cora eventually realizes that Whitethorn Institute considers themselves heroes who are saving children from their Doors, which enables them to do terrible things in the name of that heroism. When one of the students accuses her of being a killer, she realizes that it's true, because she killed sailors trying to kill her mermaid friends, and wonders if those sailors were heroes too.

The real headmaster Whitethorn is a wizard and he has designs on the doors. There's a girl whose real name was stolen by the Rat King, and so her real name can't be heard. Even nicknames will eventually fade into silence if anyone addresses her directly. It's revealed at the very end that her name is Marian. The matrons are graduates who grow too old without giving up, and have their names stripped from them. The false headmaster accidentally calling one by her name brings back her identity.

Her door to the Trenches came when she tried to drown herself as a teenager. While it wasn't a problem at Eleanor West's school, the girls at Whitethorn Institute are trying to be normal and are much nastier about it.
