Summary
Shane remembers the way the world tilted, how he stumbled out the door, how the air felt wrong in his lungs. He was laughing, he thinks. At one point. He was crying. He couldn’t tell the difference. Somewhere behind him, Hayden’s footsteps followed, distorted, distant, like they were coming through water.
He remembers thinking, with a terrible and absolute certainty: Ilya is dead.
And then, just as quickly, just as absurdly: I need to talk to Ilya about this.

Or: An alternate/expanded take on the days following the Centaurs' emergency landing, featuring Shane's inability to accept proof, Ilya's stubborn insistence on being alive, and the particular difficulty of loving someone whose heart has had every reason to stop, maybe even before the crash.
