Summary
Panam poses: “You ever think about how things would be different?” A bit of… whimsy? in her voice. “If you had never taken the Konpeki job.”
She ponders for a moment, even if the answer’s fairly obvious. “Prolly be face-down in a gutter right now.” Throws the sardonic edge from her voice for the next part. “Or we’d… still be lost in NC, both.”
Surprised, at how clear her voice stays for the next part. “Jackie wouldn’ta made it either way. Star burned way too bright.” Clutches at the dogtags around her neck. “Johnny wouldn’ta left me with his smoking habit.” Some levity on that one, but they both know the mark he left runs deeper.
“Aldecaldos woulda sold their soul to Biotechnica or some other corp.” Doesn’t miss the way Panam tenses momentarily.
Some other people worth mentioning too. Judy, Kerry. But she's never talked with Panam much about them.
And of course…
She looks back up to the moon.
“Couldn’t imagine things goin’ any other way.”
OR:
V's beaten her death sentence. So Mi struggles to live with her actions. Panam has a family to lead and a best friend to watch out for. Surely nothing can throw a wrench into the new lives they've built.
