    Summary

    “You want to siren me?” Marina asks, quiet.

    Pearl closes her eyes. Now she’s gone and done it. “I don’t want to— I just think it might help. For a sec.”

    “Mm…” Marina hums, processing. “You’d just help me relax?”

    Pearl shrugs, staring down at the mole on Marina’s face. “Yeah..."

    Marina smiles, soft and gentle, face smoothing from its worried pull into something more relaxed. “I trust you, Pearlie. If you think it’ll help… Let’s do it.”

    Summary

    "There’s this voice that Marina uses when Pearl’s in trouble. It’s similar to her normal voice, sing-songy, but with an edge that only Pearl can pick up on. Pearl calls it the Voice of Doom, and it never fails to put her in her place, usually in the middle of a conversation when she was getting a little uppity. Pearl’s been called a lot of things—obstinate, hard-headed, loud-mouthed—but she knows her shit and knows what the hell she’s talking about most of the time, so when anyone pushes her she pushes back. Except. Except when Marina’s there to check her.

    The first time she uses it in bed though..."

    Summary

    “We’re not so different,” Pearl said. She meant their powers—the ability to see beyond normal human comprehension—but Marina could sense the electrical signals in her own brain sometimes, and they were basically identical. Her small fist bumped into Marina’s arm. “When can I see your face, huh?”

    Marina swallowed. The edges of her mask cut into her cheeks. “Not yet.”

    Summary

    “It’s funny.” Falin rubs her cheek. “People always said they like me because I’m gentle. Quiet. Selfless. But none of that was really true.” Her mouth pulls into a small smile. “Looking back, I think I was too scared to be anything else. Too scared to want anything that would be inconvenient for anyone else.” She smiles a little wider. “And that’s what everyone liked about me, in the end.”

    Marcille inhales sharply. “Falin—”

    “But now, I don’t care. As much, anyway. I like this. I like wanting things and being honest about it. I like being strong and scary sometimes.” She digs her nails into the back of her own neck, relishing the sting. “I think I like it more than I like being liked.”
