Summary
You passed your 4,500th cycle and had to cut Ariane’s ration supplies in half again. Demons stared back as you looked into the mirror.
Ariane’s hair began falling in matted clumps and you encouraged her to begin spending time in the cryogenic pod. Brimstone pooled in your mouth.
A ghost haunted the ship and it began to take you longer and longer to realize it was your wife. Flames singed your mind.
Ariane cried for you to keep your promise, sobs escaping her mouth when she wasn’t vomiting blood. Even if the servos in your legs still functioned, you wouldn’t have been able to. As you sat unable to move, hearing your wife die of a cancer caused by a reactor you couldn’t repair, everything finally clicked.
Hell was real. And you were being welcomed home.· ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ ·
A fractured mind denied rest; a blind zealot chasing soot; A bifurcated god on a decaying throne: each soul trapped in an unending hell at the hands of a machine refusing itself penance.
An Observer intervenes.
Struggle, Elster. Make us whole.

Summary
Susie thinks she's starting to get it, but when she sees Kris, she really gets it. They don’t even open their eyes when they walk in; not until Noelle greets them. They look like death.
“The hell is wrong with you?” Susie blurts before she can stop herself.
“Sick,” Kris rasps.
Kris falls very ill. Others are forced to face the reality of human fragility.

Summary
“Susie,” Kris’s voice deadpans from the other end of the line, “if you don’t call me back in five minutes, I’m killing myself.”
Noelle stares.
Susie coughs. “They, uh. They don’t mean that.”
Susie makes her first friend. Somehow, they're even more insane than she is.

Summary
Things have been tense between Rumi and Mira after the Idol Awards. Rumi’s trying to be more honest, while Mira is trying to come to terms with all of the lies. It doesn’t help that Rumi will not tell her or Zoey where she went after the Idol Awards, so Mira confronts her about it. But Rumi only says that she won't, that she can't, tell her yet.
