Six months ago Olivia came to the Albatross. She liked Le Mon the most because
he was funny. She didn't like Romaina because she was cold and intimidating.
She also resented Romaina because she was the only one that would make Le Mon
upset.
Romaina is unconscious. There is a tube that is keeping her alive.
Olivia is looking at that tube. Olivia feels ambivalent. She doesn't
like this feeling. She doesn't like a bit of it.
Romaina was spinning outside the wreckage. Her old self in armor ordered
her to drop the rifle. She saw it in her hand. She would not drop it because
if she did, everything they had done would be forgotten. It was the only
proof of their existence.
So she raised it at her. She pulled the trigger.
It was very dark. Romaina couldn't feel her body. There was a shadow
sitting at the end of the bed.
Who is it?
Romaina asked. She felt that the shadow was watching her, but it didn't
response. She couldn't tell whether she did ask the question, because
she couldn't feel her mouth. Romaina determinded that she was reduced to
an unrecoverable state. She asked the shadow whether it was the person
to euthanize her. The shadow didn't disagree.
How is everyone else?
Romaina asked. The shadow didn't say. It wouldn't make a difference to you,
now, would it?
The shadow stood up and reached forward.
