Summary
She could try to assemble these bits of knowledge into a father, but she would fail. It is like building a man out of spare parts: a lock of hair here, a patch of skin there. You can make a serviceable figure. It can walk around and sit and speak with you. But when you try to put its heart in, all you can find is a brick wall.
She went to England to see her father while he lived, in case the rebels killed him. She left thinking, I have seen all I will see of him, even if he lives another fifty years.
[28 July 1540. Five people who got on with their day, and one who didn’t.]

Summary
He wants to make Viserys leave the room and not speak to him for a week. He wants to say, How dare you even suggest it. Do you know me at all? He wants to say, Do not look at me like that. I am your elder. I am your king.
He wants to collapse against his brother, tell him all his fears, and be comforted.

Summary
The stars are very, very clear tonight, sharp bright pinpricks against the deep navy of the sky. Daenaera looks at them, and feels suddenly that they have far too much to tell her. The future, the past, the gods, the dead—she wants none of it. She closes her eyes against them, and the world contracts to her body, to things that are immune to the distant stars and her distant husband.
[Daenaera and Aegon share a sleepless night under the stars.] -

Summary
Sometimes Michelle sneaks away to the airlock. She opens the inner door and goes right up to the outer one, pressing her hand against the glass, feeling the cold through it. She doesn’t know why she’s looking – to search for signs of life, to try to figure out what the hell’s going on out there, to test her star-reading skills, to check how the plants are doing, to see the sky.
To remind herself that there is some kind of world out there, still, and that she misses it, and that she’s going to return to it one day. -
