    Summary

    “When dead whales sink down to the sea floor, they become a whole”—Grace waves his hands in a big circle and draws out the word to emphasise his point—“ecosystem for a tonne of bottom dwelling creatures down there.

    “To them, it’s the equivalent of an oasis falling from the sky and landing in the middle of a desert. It can feed them for decades, and gosh, the microbes that can be found there. I would love to study a whale fall...if they weren't at the bottom of the ocean. Eugh.” He shudders dramatically. “If I never have to go in a submarine, I will die happy.”

    Eva wonders if the whale died happy. Or, at least, happy to know its death would bring life to so many. Surely that was a comfort when faced with the end.

    (or: Eva drifts along a sea of memories, in which whales swim ever underneath)

    Summary

    The Butcher does what he is supposed to do. He fulfills his role, and when he’s done Simon is allowed to make whatever meager meaning of his life he can.

    One day, when the Butcher is heading a raid, Simon discovers an angel.


    The hands that cradled your face and tilted it
    upwards to kiss your forehead
    are soaked in unfathomable quantities of blood

    but they cradled me, yes?
