    Summary

    My second life begins in a world of heat and death with him by my side. It begins again in a maze, where I can only remember a false name and the feeling of being incomplete.

    ( They told me to protect him with every breath, but I was doing it long before they felt the need to tell me. )

    It feels like a loss. They’re shaping us into something new, forcing our hand when we don’t respond the way they want. It’s just a name, yes, but it’s the name our parents gave us. It’s all we have left that belongs to us, and now we can’t even keep that.

    The pain stops, but there’s an ache that I can feel in every muscle of my body and mind. I lay gasping on the floor until the door opens, barely able to move my body as Stevie is dragged back inside. I grunt, raising myself to onto my knees as Stevie is dropped besides me. Like beacons, we seek each other, curling our throbbing bodies together and sighing with relief.
