   Summary

   Like pretty much everyone in Halcyon, Hawthorne wore a strip of cloth over her left wrist. It probably covered a name. Or not just a name, but the name -- the name of the soulmate Hawthorne was destined to meet in accordance with the Plan. Or the Equation. Or whatever. Explanations varied.

   Nearly everyone had a name there. It showed up sometime when you were a teenager, and at least in Byzantium it was a big deal. Sometimes a name didn't show up. Or didn't show up until you were older. The name on Ellie's wrist had shown up a month after she'd turned 14, around the same time she'd started showing "competencies" on the "medical studies track," according to her test scores. In turn her name had to be out there somewhere, on someone's wrist. Her real name.
