I believe this may be representing a conversation between Ronit and God. A representation of her rediscovering her relationship with him and redefining what her religion means to her, creating a better relationship with it. She is achieving that skill of listening.

In the final two chapters, the structure slightly changes.

God?) followed one Ronit-POV section.
