Summary
“Val, do it.” She recognizes the popping static of ghost speak. Danny raises his head and the pain in his eyes is gone, replaced with grim, angry determination.
She opens her mouth to respond, but he stops her.
“Don’t reply, just shoot me. If you do it, you’re free.”
He couldn’t survive this. Not unless there's something major he isn’t telling her.
And then she remembers there is.
//
Valerie and Danny are kidnapped by the GIW due to their anomalous ectoplasmic radiation readings. In the lab, they're put trough testing to determine whether or not they still count as human. Danny struggles with the cost of keeping his secrets to avoid hurting Valerie, while Valerie grapples with the real ramifications of her suit’s technology and how ghostly she's becoming. Together they must both face their truths if they want to get out alive.

The feeling is creeping in her quicker and quicker each time. She’s drawn back to the palace, to warm sun and spices in the air. Soft silk and dark wine.

Summary
When Avad comes west in a daring ploy to further peace with the Tenakth despite Regalla's forces, Aloy fully expects Jiran's past sins to chase them... not Rost's. Never Rost's. Avad didn't expect to discover clues leading to Iriv's Tomb- and, consequently, his weapons, including Araman's fabled sword- in Fashav's quarters at the Grove, but the best sort of adventures are the unexpected kind... right?
"Fashav, I'm about to do something that you might consider monumentally stupid. It will either progress peace with those you've lived with for the past few years, or blow up in my face and get me killed." he took a breath. "But you used to say we must sometimes be bold for the worthwhile things in life. This peace... it's worth it. It has to be."
Avad stood up, and brushed the dirt off the Vanguard steel he'd taken as his disguise. Shouldering the heavy burden he'd chosen to present to the Tenakth Chieftain, he cast one last glance into the reflective surface of the obsidian plaque next to the pedestal. "I'm not sure what I'll do if it isn't."Sequel to Responsibility or Calling, and Reconstruction and Combustion.
