<p>Carter makes it to the UMC and, taking a risk, logs in to meet up with Sasha and Debarre to pass on what has happened at her work and what she knows of RJ. Part way through explaining what is happening, Sasha falls over in pain and then her system crashes, and Carter and Debarre deduce that she has gotten lost as well and both log out immediately. When Carter goes to visit RJ, she finds both the police and Johansson and Caitlin there already. Johansson distracts the police while Carter sets up a &lsquo;mirror rig&rsquo; with RJ, a training device for those who are learning to use their implants which allows an instructor to help control RJ, acting on a hunch from seeing Sasha disappear. She logs into the mirror rig with RJ and finds herself in a confusing, dreamlike place with AwDae at the center of it all, spouting lines from a poem that we now recognize as the Ode. Carter struggles to convince em to come with her, and eventually succeeds. She immediately dives back in and publishes via the DDR what she has learned as well as how to free the lost.</p>
<p>Debarre frees Sasha, finding that she is similarly affected by the mirroring experience, though to a lesser extent than RJ. All of those who were lost are forever changed, and few for the better. Cicero finds it to be too much and kills himself. Shortly after his funeral, Sasha receives a letter from RJ mentioning that ey must go back to that mirror world and has volunteered to be an early subject for uploading tech that will lead to the world Ioan and Dear inhabit, a process that will kill eir body and, unless everything goes right, ey will not be able to see her again. The letter includes the entirety of the Ode, and we learn that Sasha is <em>Michelle Hadje</em>, the basis for the common ancestor of the Ode clade. Sanders winds up in prison along with several who instigated the plot to remove that vote from the records. Prakash winds up back in the Sino-Russian Bloc (where, it is implied, RJ&rsquo;s procedure will take place). Ioan winds up eir job as amanuensis with Dear and begins to write up eir report/essay on the subject but, on a whim, contacts Dear and its partner to ask if ey might create a long-lived fork (eir first), Codrin Bălan, to work with them both on the project.</p>

<p>You are attending a gallery exhibition in instance artistry run by one <em>Dear, Also, The Tree That Was Felled</em>.</p>
<p>You are attending a gallery exhibition in instance artistry run by one <em>Dear, Also, The Tree That Was Felled</em>. It has set up a structured experience involving splitting the group of attendees up among four different settings based on the archetypes of the lover, the fighter, the rebel, and the wanderer, trusting that at least one person would take part in all four. That lucky soul just happens to be you, and it makes you angry enough to fight, makes you fall in love, makes you frustrated and intrigued. Also, it started as a Twine game, which is why it&rsquo;s all in second person, and then it got out of hand. This is the reason Dear&rsquo;s partner is never named in the other stories; they&rsquo;re technically the reader.</p>
