    Summary

    What he had with Helena was something else entirely. It felt like a dangerous, unknowable ocean, and yet he still wanted to dive in - deeper and deeper. To lose himself in her again and again without ever coming up for air.
    Because she would dive with him.
    And she was the only breath in the depths where he’d drown.

    Summary

    Helly wouldn’t want it any other way. That’s what she tells herself, at least. Because this way, there are no more scary or happy or sad numbers to sort through. No more break room mantras and mysterious goat departments. No more sad melon parties and vending machine tokens. Mark is with her, always. They have a life together, even if it is only in 46-hour increments. They have a bed to sleep and make love in, plenty of food to eat, and a decent supply of entertainment.

    Yeah, this was a good decision.

    Summary

    As soon as Helena pushes the door closed behind them, she’s hit by the gentle weight of Mark's body as he presses her into the adjacent wall, a gasp suspended in the back of her throat as his lips cover hers. She responds without really meaning to, just muscle memory, her head leaning back into his cupped hand as he protects her from knocking against the hard surface. The act of it is so tender that she can’t take it anymore, can’t take this—something she didn’t earn and doesn’t deserve.

    She wedges her hand between them, palm to his chest, and pushes back. The look of hurt that flashes in his eyes is almost enough to pull him back to her.

    “I’m—I’m sorry, Helly. Before the OTC… I should’ve kissed you back then; I wanted to. I—I thought—”

    “I’m Helena Eagan,” she says, the confession tumbling out as an exhale.

    Summary

    Three times Mark asked Helly to reintegrate, and one time he didn’t

    Mark may have gotten the reintegration surgery, but that doesn't mean Helly wants to. She's more than happy to not have Helena Eagan plaguing her mind.
