    Summary

    You realise that you're pulling your limbs closer to yourself, hunkering down, and force yourself to relax. There's nothing to be scared of. Grace isn't sick, you would have noticed. Right? And even if it is sick, it's not dying, its ship is protected from radiation, so it won't be like- it's going to wake up. You will watch over it until it wakes up.

    Summary

    The sun is warm on your face. Your neck hurts from looking up for so long, squinting in the bright light, but you don't want to look away. This is the last time you'll ever see the Hail Mary. The closest you can get to seeing the crew one last time; you saw Ilyukhina and Yáo just before launch, spent the days before it watching Dr. Grace sleep in every spare moment you could find, but you can't shake it, the want for just a little longer.

     

    Stratt watches the launch of the Hail Mary, and thinks about what will happen now.

    Summary

    Your body is a vacuity, a space which nothing fills and only cold gathers, and for the first time, heat enters it, and there is nothing missing inside of you. Each empty space is filled. Every dim spot, every blurred half-memory, every faint tug at the back of your mind is wiped away in radiance. Blinded. If you'd thought you were a pale imitation before, this leaves you a blank slate. It removes all of you so that it can stretch out comfortably inside. No longer alone - you are inhabited.

    Summary

    The notes blur together and you can't make sense of anything but how loud they are, all the words you've learned meaningless. You could go grab your laptop, but that would mean moving from the comfortable little ball you've curled yourself into, so that's not happening. Rocky lets out a piercing trill when all you do is stare blankly at him - that, you recognise. He's worried. When you flinch at the sound, he rolls closer.

     

    Grace gets overstimulated. Rocky tries to help. It works out better than either of them expects.

    Summary

    It's terrifying, knowing you can't change anything now, that you have to stick with whatever you do no matter how badly it works out. You can try out every possible option. You can take back everything you've ever done wrong. You can do it, but you can't live in that perfect life for longer than a moment. Everything has to go backwards again, and you have to live with what you said the first time around, knowing how much better you could've done.

    Summary

    It's not fair. It's not fair for her either, you remind yourself. That doesn't make it any easier to bear. Her misery doesn't give you back your parents. Her guilt doesn't let you sleep at night. It doesn't make you feel any better that she thinks of herself as a burden; it just makes you feel awful about the selfish little part of you that agrees.

    Summary

    Nothing has ever come to you easily, not even cooking; you're good at that, unlike everything else you've tried, but you're still always striving for some level of skill, of recognition, that's just out of reach. You want something that you are incapable of achieving or even naming. Despite your best efforts to find meaning, nothing has ever genuinely satisfied you. Today, you think you'll make goulash.

    Summary

    It's the most scared you've been since that night at the football pitch where Maddy took you to an open grave and told you you were still alive, that she'd seen your heart and it was beating. You don't need her to have been right about everything: another world, another you, waking up to find this has all been a bad dream. It's okay if there isn't a perfect life waiting for you to slip seamlessly into it, without the mess of changing this one. Really, you won't mind. It's fine. You're good at not getting your hopes up. But you want her to be right about this.

    Summary

    It's quiet in your head. Not that blissful kind of quiet you used to get looking at the Hive or pinned under Levi, knowing that you didn't have to think at all, you didn't have to do or be anything, just let yourself be used as a vessel, but regular quiet. Calm quiet. No longer buzzing all the time. Able to sit and hear yourself think. The kind of quiet that doesn't beg for a distraction from the awful reality of being yourself.

    It would bring such shame to him if word got out, you understand that; but couldn't Domek have somehow told you the girl was a transvestite before you got out the hammer and nails?

    Summary

    What a beautiful thing, to be made important. You were given a purpose before you had to find one for yourself. His presence had sanded away the rough edges of your life, plastered faith over your flaws and sealed them away. It's strange. You have not felt alone since before knowing him, not even when he was taken from you. But you feel alone now, in this place, even as you walk on with the certainty you'll find him.

    Summary

    There is nothing but void outside of this. You were brought into existence to purify these lands, created with only the fulfilment of that goal in mind; without capacity for doubt or remorse, barely enough wonder to think on those. It's not even anger towards the spectres that drives you, just the knowledge you must destroy them. Simple, efficient, single-minded. Purification incarnate.

    Summary

    This is your legacy, your son and heir, your flesh and blood. This is who will continue your work and carry your family name, to take on the role all Domeks take and pass on to their own sons. This is proof that your life has had meaning; you have given away yourself entirely to this purpose, yet it has all been worth it to ensure the cycle continues.

    She turns her back on the reason you and she were born into this world, and does not look back.

    Summary

    Every time you blink, you can see flashes of the screen. The reflection of your own face bathed in blue light. It's not too late to go home and watch another episode, listen to the rain from inside the house. There is still time. It's just that that's not what you want to do with your time now. You're tired of living only in the memories of a show that isn't what you remember it, time passing by in fast-forwards and unspooled tapes.

    Summary

    Even if Sylvian could give you back your leg, you couldn't walk with it. She can't take the weakness from your body, repair damaged nerves and fragile blood vessels, or even stop it from happening again. This won't work. You know that it won't, because if there was any God who could have healed you, then it's one your parents already prayed to. There's nothing they wouldn't have tried before. Well, nothing except taking you to a doctor while that could still make a difference.

     

    Olivia prays to Sylvian to restore a lost limb, and wonders about what can and cannot be healed.

    Summary

    The thing about a relationship is that it's always heading towards the end goal of being in that relationship. Once you're past the stage of finding out if you might be compatible together, it's just a means to that end. And you want to want it. You do. But this thing you're supposed to feel which makes it worthwhile, that pull towards another person, a love like a need for them to love you too... It isn't there. You just feel uncomfortable.

     

    After realising that she doesn't want to be with Andrew, Joan tries to work out what it is that she does want.
