    Summary

    In the end, she takes refuge in a soldier's blunt language, just as she has always done. "I'm dying," she says to Odo.

    He doesn't look surprised. He nods.

    "I've got Grev-Lal's Syndrome," she continues. "It's a neurodegenerative disease, with no known cure. Over the next one to three years, my mind will deteriorate until I don't know who I am anymore. Until I cannot move, or speak. Eventually, even the automatic functions will shut down." Odo's only response is to wrap himself around her even tighter. She thinks whimsically that he must feel stretched-out, like a spring. That maybe this feels even stranger to him than it does to her.

    "Odo," she says, and pulls back so that she can look him in the eyes. "I'm here to ask if you will help me die."

    Summary

    Discussions of her Father were never appropriate, Hilda had learned.

    From her Mother’s solemn promise to tell her when she was older - a day which seemed never to come - to the stern finality with which her sister had once told her it didn’t matter whether or not they even had a Dad in the first place, because they didn’t need him when they had each other. Both responses taught her to avoid the question at all costs, regardless of how much it ate at her.

    Lauren was the strong one, never afraid of anything and constantly reliable. Which made her clear discomfort at the mere mention of the man all the more disconcerting. But she was less fragile than their Mother, who Hilda had seen wiping tears from her eyes shortly after she had first asked.

    If anyone could withstand the utterance of the unmentionable, it was her sister.
