    Summary

    It is very angry at Alex. It has been trapped in a lie, a fabrication to make it believe it was something, someone that it was not. It has been forced to feel what it was never supposed to, to care for all these doomed lifeforms on Talos and do its damnedest to save them, to choose who lived and who died. It is all Alex’s fault. He is also the one who ripped all that away from it. 

    But, it thinks, that’s Morgan talking. Typhon don't get angry. Typhon defend, and hide, and hunt. They don't care. 

    It cares. It has neurons installed in its very being that make it understand. And that is proof that Alex’s theory works. 

    Morgan always put work before feelings. 

    It reaches out to Alex’s hand, the extended part of it shifting to match the shape, the color. It shakes his hand. 

    Alex smiles, and the relief present in his face makes it feel ashamed for its initial selfish instinct.

    Summary

    Brasidas remembers lying on the lonely deck of his relief-ship and speculating what it might feel like to see her again.

    Sunrise. Fresh rain. Battle-frenzy. A deep belly-laugh, or a spinning blue-lotus high. The crush of a wave coming back from low tide, dense and hard, knocking the breath from him like a body blow from a sledgehammer.

    He should have known it would be like none of those. So many things about Kassandra are without compare.
