Summary
Is worth decided by the way someone dies instead of the way they lived? It is all determined by a King who didn’t state his presence until the crime had been committed. How can Virgil rebel against a law that didn’t exist? There were gods and kings in his time, not one God who is king all the same.
Anyways Virgil contemplates why Dante gets a second chance and he never did. :)

Summary
“You know, you’ve never shown me the Regulus constellation.”
He points. “That one.” Regulus glances at her. “Can you see?”
She shakes her head.
Regulus grabs her hand to point out the stars. Lily whips her head to face his. He immediately drops her hand. “Sorry. I was just gonna- the star- the constellation i mean-“
Lily laughs and grabs his hand again. “Point it out to me please.”
Regulus is sure he’s blushing as red as Lily’s hair. But then he catches the look in her eyes as he turns to point at the sky. She knows what she’s doing to him.

Summary
Okay, soulmarks. Soulmates.
That’s a complicated thing in Bobby’s mind. Alex lost his soulmate when they were still little, and that was terrifyingly sad and kind of traumatizing. And Reggie says that he has a bad feeling about his, and refuses to talk about it. His grandma never had a soulmark, because she married Pops who is mute, so that kind of makes sense, but it is still odd. He learns from people at school that them and everyone they know have normal soulmarks, and the fact that everyone he knows has odd soulmarks is not normal.
He doesn’t quite know what to think of his when he will inevitably get it. He doesn’t even know if he wants one.
So, soulmarks? Soulmates?
He doesn’t even know what to think anymore.

Summary
Rocky doesn’t get it. He’ll never get it.
That’s unfair to Rocky, really, because of course his alien best friend doesn’t get it. He has different customs, different ideas of pro-social behavior, and the glaringly obvious issue of the fact that Ryland can’t seem to open his mouth and just tell him what’s wrong. It’s not Rocky’s fault, but eventually he has to tell him to “just go away,” because Rocky’s behavior is reminding him too much of the way he acted while Colt was recovering from his back injury.
Colt. His brother. He has a brother. A twin, in fact.
Or, well, he had one. That’s the problem.

Summary
“No one’s done this! Everyone’s masturbated!” Ryland rolled over in the bed, head propped up onto his closed fist. “There are miraculous things happening around me, and a sex toy shouldn’t be one of them.”
Just like before, he was only met with the creaking noises of the ship's hull.
