   Summary

   B’Elanna hears her startle awake most mornings, usually with a name on her lips. Icheb or Bjayzl. Sometimes Jay. She assumes the last two are the same person, though Seven’s voice grates against the first and splits open around the second. She learns to recognize which days will be good and which will be bad based on the name and the stiffness in Seven’s shoulders when she emerges from her room.

   or, how Tom and B'Elanna came to take care of Seven in the aftermath of Jay
