Summary
“I lost everything.” Blake’s voice breaks, the end of her word vanishing in a croak.
“Like what?” Yang demands, pushing on despite the fact that she wants to drop everything. The past pieces of herself—of them—are already on the floor at their feet. There are fragments and shards cluttered beneath them and Yang is done with attempting to find enough glue to hold herself together. “What have you possibly lost, Blake?”
“I lost my home.” You. “I lost my happiness.” You. “I lost the only person I’ve ever loved.”

Summary
“Yang,” Blake says finally. “How old are you?”
“Nineteen,” Yang says. Blake nods, the confusion on her face disappearing. She reaches out with one hand and lays it atop Yang’s prosthetic. Gently, she guides Yang’s hand down so that there isn’t a gun in her face anymore. Yang doesn’t fight her. “How old are you?” Yang asks. Blake sighs, shakes her head, half-smiles.
“Thirty-two."
(yang falls, and falls, and falls through time.)

Summary
The beginning of the Industrial Revolution brings whispers - subtle and sinister, like shadows seeping from its many smokestacks - not only of incredible progress, but of pragmatism; efficient uses for its sizable population of magicians. Performing silly tricks is a marker of time gone by; they must channel their magic to a cause worthy of their talent. (Elementalists and Mechanists wanted! read signs in the factory windows.)
Underneath, however, Yang perceives the truth: Magicians, like her and her sister, are threats which must be controlled. But she doesn’t expect war until she meets a girl with one clawing at her shoulders.

Summary
“I don’t want you do something stupid on international television when you could’ve just downloaded Tinder,” Weiss says. Blake smiles—there’s the Weiss she knows—and goes back to folding her shirt.
“I’m not going to do anything stupid,” she says. “I’m not looking to meet anyone, and if I was, I wouldn’t go after wannabe reality TV stars. But they’re going to fly me all over the world, Weiss, and pay me more than I made in four years of royalties off my last book.”
“When you put it like that, it sounds almost reasonable.”
“That’s because it is,” Blake says. “Now help me pack or get out of my apartment.”
“Just promise me you won’t actually marry someone you meet on reality television."
(Blake agrees to become Remnant's next bachelorette for a lot of reasons, but getting married is absolutely nowhere on that list. Then, of course, she meets Yang.)
