Summary
"Wait, wait-" Harry stammers. You glance away from the scene unfolding to see him staring directly at her, with his gun now pressed to the side of his head. The tension rising inside you boils over into genuine fear; for the investigation, for Martinaise, for the safety of the two people in front of you. Your hands itch to draw your own weapon. "You kill yourself, and I kill myself, okay?"
Or, what if Kim had been the one to let Ruby go instead?

Summary
“So…is this the great road trip you were envisioning for us, Ruby?” Klaasje calls above the noise.
When you glance over to her, she has a cigarette lit and hidden from the wind by a cupped hand. Her hair is flapping just like yours, tumbling over her cheekbones and across the seat back in writhing golden ribbons. Her smile is barely visible.
You snort. “Well, the kid’s a surprise.”

Summary
It makes sense, Klaasje realizes. Something in Ruby’s posture has been strained since she opened the door; she’s been speaking softly, as if it's taking her considerable effort just to fulfill this basic task.
Klaasje empathizes, even if a selfish, voiceless part of her psyche had been hoping that Ruby was (possibly, maybe, perhaps, conceivably) knocking on her door at this time of night for far less decent reasons.

Summary
This doesn’t bode well, you think. You’ve deliberately avoided all manner of hunches and fedoras in your career, but you know when a bad day is ahead of you.
The woman beside you must sense it as well because she keeps sending you friendly, vaguely apologetic smiles. As if she’s somehow to blame for the indifference of the world to your individual affairs. Or RCM affairs. Or anyone’s.

Summary
SOLA, THE ANTI-INNOCENCE - Her silver, disco-dancer jumpsuit glints blindingly. “I know you resent me, for keeping what I know from you. To be the anti-innocence isn’t *flattery* from the masses.” Her smile is slight and wry, thin lipped. “Oh, I’m sure you wish I were your Dolores Dei, sweetheart. Your past and your future, to open the pale to Elysium. Sing the magpie song. But I wasn’t, and we both knew I would never be. The future wasn’t mine to give.”
LEVERAGE - This is it. She’s done: speech over, rule over, game over. The people are held captive by the crinkle at the corners of her eyes and the sharp cut of blond hair against her thin back, the humanity behind her distance. They couldn’t protest to her resignation if they *tried.*
PARAPHRENIA [Godly: Success] - You know, I don't think Sola was blond.

Ruby wakes up in an old Dolorian church and spends a few days with its inhabitants, steeling herself to leave.

Harry is actually Some kind of Superstar.
