    Summary

    “It’s funny.” Falin rubs her cheek. “People always said they like me because I’m gentle. Quiet. Selfless. But none of that was really true.” Her mouth pulls into a small smile. “Looking back, I think I was too scared to be anything else. Too scared to want anything that would be inconvenient for anyone else.” She smiles a little wider. “And that’s what everyone liked about me, in the end.”

    Marcille inhales sharply. “Falin—”

    “But now, I don’t care. As much, anyway. I like this. I like wanting things and being honest about it. I like being strong and scary sometimes.” She digs her nails into the back of her own neck, relishing the sting. “I think I like it more than I like being liked.”

    Summary

    The practice is the intersection of self, word, and pattern. Word is inviolate, and patterns have been a part of Naomi Cohen's life for as long as she can remember. Her Self, however, has reached a point of flux, and in that challenge risks collapse.

    So obviously the solution is ignore the problem and hope it goes away. Naomi is a student of the past, after all.

    And the one thing everyone knows about the past is that it has never, ever had even the slightest bearing on the present.
