Soot did not know the specifics. They were not a doctor — or at least not a psychologist, for they were also a fully qualified CMO — and so they did not even pretend to. They just knew that sometimes they were Abby, that remembering things that happened while they were Abby was like reading a story, ill-conceived and more often than not a picture book, scant on the details. They imagined it must feel similar to Abby, too: perhaps she remembered what happened to her as Soot was akin to remembering a dream.

They laughed and nodded. "Want me to pull any plasma out of the hot loop?"
They shook their head. "?{Like I thaid, I'm not worried if you aren't.}(Like I said, I'm not worried if you aren't.)"
