"Sasha!" She spoke aloud.
"The fuck." Half question this time.
"Sasha, it's Debarre," she said, then, "What the fuck?"
"I'm so sorry. I came as fast as I could. Everything's a fucking mess."
"How long has it been?" she asked herself.
"About sixteen hours. I had to dump a chunk of my savings into a ticket to get here."
She clawed at the ground in something between frustration at terror that a friend's voice was coming from her mouth/from her muzzle. "And...how are you..."
"A mirror rig." The joyous tone of the words clashed against the tears still flowing freely. "We figured it out. Carter figured it out, I mean. She and AwDae bust everything open. Figured out how to rescue the lost, figured out how everyone *gets* lost in the first place."
She stopped digging at the earth. "AwDae's back?"
"Yes! And the clinic where Cicero is is trying to get him out as well!"
She had to turn toward the bar again to let the shouting echo. The silence was giving her a headache.
Or not. A neck-ache. Something was tearing at the back of the neck/through the fur of her scruff. An ache. A jolt of pain. A ripping. A tearing.
"I'm going to stop mirroring now. This is horrifying," she said to the wood of the bar. She did not know who said the last.
And then, a hand on her shoulder. One of her shoulders. The sensation had her hair/fur stand on end. She turned around, and there was Debarre. The weasel frowned as he looked between the two of her. Looked at Sasha/looked at Michel.
"I...what? Sasha?"
She gritted her teeth/bared her teeth. "I don't know either. What to we do now? How do we get out of this hell?"
Debarre shrugged. "Can you back out?"
She reached. Felt the draft. Smiled beatifically. She passed the field of dandelions. Passed the setting sun, or perhaps he passed her.
And breathed the cool air of an implant clinic.
There, beside her, also sitting up from the recliner and pulling off his headband, was, she supposed, Debarre. Short. Soft. Thinning hair. Ecstatic grin.
"Sasha?" The grin picked up an ironic twist. "Or Michel, I guess. You okay?"
