Qoheleth gives his speech

NB: Codrin still looks like Ioan at this stage. ([source](https://qoheleth.makyo.ink/read/55/))

Shortly after the list of emissaries are picked, they all gather along with Dear in Tycho's sim for dinner. His sim is a mossy meadow in the midst of a ring of forest in the pacific northwest. It acts as a dark-sky sight for naked-eye astronomy, so it's basically a forest at night. They have dinner in the field at a table with a single candle lighting them. It'd be pretty dark, but who knows, maybe it could work.

Twice during the book, Tycho and True Name have a conversation in his sim, that same dark field. They use red-tinted flashlights to watch what they're doing. During the first meeting, they keep them nearby and pointed towards them so that they can see each others' expressions. During the second, they share champagne after the successful talks, though they do so mostly in the dark without the flashlights.

During the conference, True Name grabs Answers Will Not Help, who is slowly losing her mind and has said the Name, by the blouse. Obviously, everyone is kind of freaked out by this, so they all jolt away from the action, meaning Codrin, Tycho, and Sarah jolting to the side and the Artemisians, if shown, jolting back.

Despite the fact that it would mean leaving behind eir partners, Codrin decides to send a fork to Artemis before it leaves, too. In order to try and leave the past behind without being too sad, the new instance decides to change as much as they can, winding up a shorter woman named Sorina wearing traditional Romanian garb (a white blouse with wide sleeves, embroidered at the cuffs and neckline, a plain white skirt, and a heavily embroidered fotă, a half-apron that covers the front and back of the skirt [ref1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_dress#/media/File:Gheorghe_Tattarescu_-_Taranca_din_Vlasca.jpg) [ref2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_dress#/media/File:Chiuiesti,Cluj-DSCF1172.JPG)). Codrin does this at sunrise in the prairie away from the house to keep from waking eir partners, and does it before they wake so that Sorina can leave before they learn of her, knowing that if she sticks around to say goodbye, she won't be able to leave.

~~True Name does a screm~~
~~True Name does a screm~~ (front cover)
: Jonas seems to have gotten all that he wanted out of True Name, so the inciting incident of the story is him attempting to assassinate her. Her final instance is rescued by Ioan who brings her to the lake that has featured in other stories and on the back cover of *Nevi'im* to get away from the assassin. Realizing just how totally fucked she is, she's overcome by emotion and wades out into the water until it's nearly up to her hips and screams in frustration. I picked this one as I feel that it continues on from the overwhelming emotion on the cover of *Nevi'im* and also allows for further messing with the shape of the letters.
~~May merges down~~
~~May merges down~~ (Iris)
: True Name agrees to let May merge down with her for the first time in 245 years. They kneel together on a bed, facing each other while True Name struggles to accept that many memories, May trying to be comforting as she can, while Ioan watches from the side. I like this because the rest of the book is more focused on emotions and how they tie in with memories, which is way more sedate than assassination attempts (plus, double the Odists that could be cut into by the letters).
Zacharias is a piece of shit ([source](mitzvot/026))
: True Name has been spending in the woods around the lake with her newfound desire for solitude, getting away from May and Ioan. What none of them realize, however, is that the sim isn't as private as expected, and one of Jonas's cronies (and True Name's ex), Zacharias, comes to visit and taunt her. True Name panics and messages May and Ioan, who arrive to confront Zacharias. May tries to taunt him in turn and he gets frustrated enough that he slaps her across the face. There's quite a bit to the scene, some of which may make for cover material.

Physical affection??? How even??¿ ([source](mitzvot/030), [source](mitzvot/033), [source](mitzvot/037))
: After the merge, True Name has picked up May's affectionate streak and gets all cozy on Ioan a couple of times (a few times as Sasha; see the characters section below). The mood is kiiind of cuddly but also super awkward because neither of them know what to do about it at all given a) their fraught history together with her as True Name, but also b) her having May's memories of being in a relationship with Ioan
