"Suppose two people say they're truly in love, and they want extra time to be together. Then you see, Kath, there has to be a way to judge if they're really telling the truth. That they aren't just saying they're in love, just to defer their donations. You see how difficult it would be to decide?" (page 175)
Tommy and Kathy have come up with this idea that through the art work they created at Hailsham, their souls are able to be revealed and thus the true love between two people is also revealed. I don't necessarily think this is true. Personally, I know that if they were truly clones, they wouldn't have souls because the are cloned! But, that is beside the point. I think that maybe it is possible that someone from the art gallery is trying to prove that these clones have souls through their art work. I don't think that the true love would be able to be told throughout the art work as well though. I think that if people were trying to save these students from being donors and then dying they would do more to keep the two together. Especially because a deferral only keeps the couple together for 3 years. But, I think that maybe there are more people behind the art gallery, like Madame, that are working to find out how to save these people from the life they are destined to.
