    Summary

    “I’m sorry I don’t remember it.”

    This is probably the thousandth time Jean’s heard this exact thing come out of his mouth. Completely empty words from a man who does not even know what he’s actually apologising for.

    It means less than fucking nothing to him.

    Jean wants to tell him this, but finds that he doesn’t have the energy for it. Instead, he slumps against the railing and presses the heels of his hands into his eyes until he starts to see static.

    “I wish I didn’t either.”

     

    (or: Jean's last ditch effort to get Harry to remember him, before Kim steals him away.)

    Summary

    Doug Eiffel knows what it feels like to be inches from death. 

    It comes fast, in his experience, even when it feels slow. The choking rise of water, the crushing isolation of guilt, the sweet, burning slide of whiskey down his throat - it’s faster than you’d think. One second, the world is moving too fast around you. The next, it’s not. 

    This death, though? This one is not fast. 

    His veins are thrumming with (a virus, a death sentence, a penance) adrenaline, so fast and loud that it pounds in his ears, a static indistinguishable from the radio during a storm. Time is crawling now. 

    He wonders if it’ll ever speed up again. If that’s when he’ll know. If that’s when it’ll happen. 

    If that’s when he’ll die. 

     

    A reflection on death, decima, and expendability in the vastness of space.

    Summary

    Shirley Tate: Why are you bringing this issue to court? What exactly are you hoping for? Revenge? Money?

    [Bryant flashes the crowd a cheeky grin.]

    Park: As your lawyer, I am asking you to think before you speak, Mark.

    [Bryant’s face falls; he is serious again.]

    Bryant: You’re right. I’m not the only victim of the AM. I’m not the only Atypical who has been hurt by their practices and their policies. I’m not the only person who has been hurt by the US government and their willingness to brush us under the rug. But maybe I can be one of the last.

    Shirley Tate: You haven’t answered my question. What is it you want?

    Bryant: Justice. For me, and for the future.

    Mark Bryant brings the US government to court for his mistreatment while held hostage by the Boston Atypical Monitor facility. The world reacts. A story told in texts, tweets, transcripts, and court documents.
