Entry: inimical (adj.)
In context: "...that her salvation-debt really was discharged is also evidence inimical to the legal interests of the tough nun to whom Blood Sister's saviour is obligated..."
Definition: Adverse or injurious in tendency or influence; harmful, hurtful.
Other: This entry is quite clearly a few days late. Sorry about that. Life (report cards and marking, in other words) quite strongly came to the foreground, and I just didn't have time or sufficient reserve energy to keep up. No doubt this will happen again, but we're back on schedule.
