Summary
“Still… there was a part of it that I kind of liked, you know? The adventure. The… family, the belonging. And that part, that I felt—it just grew larger when he said… he said that I’ve always been right there in that dream, for him. That I was the most important part of it. And I felt…” Nancy chuckles raggedly. “It was crazy, and he should’ve known that I never would have… I wasn't ready to hear it. It was unexpected, it wasn’t me, at least not all of it, and yet, somehow, despite all of that, I felt…
“God, I felt something. I know that now. I felt something for Steve.”
or:
Nancy doesn't run from her feelings this time. Observing from the outside, Jonathan—the person least likely to—ends up making sure of it.
Written for Stancy Week 2026 Day 4's word prompt "trust".

Summary
The system is flawed.
Nancy knows flawed systems, and she knows them well. She knows to question the textbooks, the politicians, the easy assumptions. The world has split enough under her feet. She's chased enough leads that have led somewhere unexpected — rats aren't always just rats and uneven accounting is sometimes just evidence of bribery. She knows easy answers aren't always the correct ones, Occam's razor be damned.
Soulmarks are a system, their matching an enforcement mechanism.
