<p>End Waking nodded, speaking toward the fire. &ldquo;And so I screamed and I ran, and when I looked back, the bar was gone, and when I looked forward again, there it was. Had I turned? Was the world so small? The words came unbidden, and with each one that left my mouth, a cord that tethered me to reality snapped, and I grew lighter and lighter, and I feared I would float up into the sky, into the sun.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;And through it all, time was unmoored and set adrift.&rdquo; May shook her head. &ldquo;Sixteen hours, twenty three minutes is what they said, but I lived lifetime after lifetime beneath that sun.

<p>&ldquo;How heavy must that madness be, then,&rdquo; May continued. &ldquo;To crash through so many failsafes and allow someone who has been within the system for more than two centuries such a death? This is what we fear.&rdquo;</p>
