Summary
Murderbot realizes that Gurathin accidentally transferred some of his own memories when he was restoring Murderbot's. As it experiences moments from Gurathin's life (in order to tag them to delete, of course) it chats with him over the feed, debates the finer points of Sanctuary Moon's subtext, and definitely doesn't discover anything about itself.

Summary
Loki looks down and Mobius sees his throat move as he swallows around the pain of what he has to stay. “I need to go now.”
Mobius tightens his grip on Loki’s forearms, wants to rail against it, to refuse to let him go. But he knows he can’t. Or he could, but it would make no difference. Loki has to do this and is committed to, that is clear from every line of him: resolve and resignation in equal parts.
So instead, Mobius wraps Loki in his arms once more, this less crushing embrace and more holding hug, and says, “Just come back.”
Loki squeezes him once, whispers, “I will,” close to his ear, and then he’s gone, Mobius left holding onto nothing.
A year's worth of time passes before Mobius sees Loki again.

Summary
“You’d like him, you know,” Thomas said.
“I do like him,” Aldo said automatically, twirling the stem of his wine glass, looking into its deep red like it was a scrying mirror.
“I mean as a friend. If you spent more time with him. You have a lot in common.”
“Do we use the same shampoo?” asked Aldo, raising an eyebrow. Thomas gave him a warning look but his mouth was tugging up.
“You’re both stubborn,” he said bluntly.

Cardinals like Thomas Lawrence and Aldo Bellini know all too well how slowly things move within the walls of the Vatican. But with Vincent Benítez's election cracking their world open, and the new Pope cutting away the old branches to make room for the new, both find that change is flooding in everywhere, mostly within themselves.
