But Madison is shocked to discover the town's negative attitude towards Cooper due to the death of his high school sweetheart Celia. Madison knew about Celia but not that people had suspected Coop of being involved in her accidental drowning. Essentially, the purpose of The One is to ensure the stability of the Matrix through containing the anomalies in one individual rather than letting them spread throughout the system. Neo displayed this ability by being able to hold a fight against several Smith clones for a long time without tiring, retreating only because he was outnumbered beyond what he could fight off.

I thought I had this one figured out, but I was wrong… at one point I just sat there stunned for a minute.The characters were oddly enticing and magnetic, they plucked at my curiosity to know more about them as they inhabited well-crafted storylines that curved, bent, and folded over like a beautiful origami swan. Madison is excited about this new chapter in her life; planning their wedding and turning their house into a home. And this isn’t the most earth shattering book I’ve ever read; however, there was really nothing I didn’t like about it!

She did prove herself to be somewhat of a formidable opponent as the book went on, but I never truly connected with her.After a confession and a kiss from Trinity, Neo reawakens in the Matrix, his powers enabled, and easily defeats the agents. Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the Matrix. And that’s the other thing: the One Before The One might not just be the partner who tees you up for a future of long-term commitment, caravan holidays and matching kitchen cupboards. This is Saer doing what he does best, pinning down the fluid transformations of the moment, charting the yawning void between received experience and the accretion of new memories, that which seems to want to come. He also displayed this ability during the fight with the Smith clones and the Merovingian's henchmen, where he fought several opponents at once with ease.

The One can even destroy Agents as Neo did to Agent Smith in The Matrix, where he destroyed Smith's program from within him. The end was tied up nicely, though I saw some reviewers said maybe a little too nicely, though I found it mostly satisfying. Half of the time, he behaves like a textbook example of this genre of Latin American abstraction, and the other half like a recluse unwilling to leave his perfectly self-contained world.Madison is shaken by these events but nothing can change the fact that she is marrying the love of her life but she just wishes Coop had given her some warning of what she was walking into in Whisper Falls. The Oracle, who is aware of The One's existence and purpose because it is her duty to guide humanity to find The One, will enlighten him to his true nature and lead him towards the Source where he fulfills his purpose of reinserting the Prime Program and resetting the Matrix. More productive would be to simply say "this year's", "last year's", "2 years ago", "3 years ago", etc. As Madison begins to settle in, she can’t shake the feeling that Cooper is hiding details of his past relationships but she’s distracted with the wedding planning. After eventually being considered blameless at the time, someone is now out to prove that Cooper had something to do with the girl's death.
