Summary
Sinthia kicked her heel against the captain’s chair. She should be doing something—helping the detectives, or kicking them out and solving this herself, or…leading! Deciding what should happen next! Instead, she drifted along the currents of her own numbness and disbelief and fear until she washed ashore onto a daydream of her and Symmetry lying on her bed, laughing, close enough that a few strands of Symmetry’s pale hair fell onto her nose.
Sinthia and Symmetry have some questions about love.

Summary
“Are you familiar with empathy, Martin?”
“The thing that tells you how other people feel?”
“Exactly.” Sasha crossed her legs, swung her ankle back and forth. “I can do it now. On command. It’s not perfect, but…” She trailed off, head turned away. “I tried it this morning. I didn’t control it well, and I…I felt something. From you.”

Summary
Martin kept his eyes firmly tilted to his hands. No use in letting him watch as he wiped away a few unruly tears. If he saw, Jon might start to worry. He might even feel he’d have to comfort him, and, oh, then they’d be in a state. Jon would fumble it. He’d look into Martin’s despair and find he’d spent too much time away from the archives. He’d stutter his awkward, endearing stutter because the alternative was, well—
That he would know exactly what to do.
A confession.

“Ghosts?” He shook his head. “Stirring up a little mischief in our room just for kicks?”
