    Summary

    Loquatius does not expect her to take his name.

     

    Mostly for this reason: it’s not a thing that any sane, reasonable person would or should expect of any other sane, reasonable person.

     

     

    Names have power. Some more than others. Loquatius shouldn't want to give anyone that kind of a hold over him.

    He does it anyway.

    (Or: a name that Laerryn takes, a name that Laerryn bestows, and a name that Quay shares, no matter what the cost may be.)

    Summary

    But Maya watches like her father. She has his eyes, his ears, his intellect. Analysis is easy. It’s not so difficult to piece together that the world is tearing itself to pieces from overheard conversations and subtly exchanged glances between adults. Whatever happened at home kickstarted the end of everything. Nobody survived the city’s crash.

    Nobody.

    And Dad has always loved his work because he loves their home.

    Maya doesn’t have a future anymore. It was ripped from her hands.
