This one was to be a ballroom dance where everyone invited would dance with instances of Dear, which would begin disappearing one by one while the rest grew steadily more anxious, as though worrying that they would be next.</p>
 <p>It was all very Dear, and Codrin enjoyed the idea immensely.</p>
 <p>It was comforting, in a way, to sit on the couch and watch eir partners dance, stumble, laugh, start dancing again, all while this big project loomed outside. It was there, ey knew. It was hovering outside like a storm rolling inexorably over the prairie, ready to lash the sides of the house with bands of rain and rattle the glass with peals of thunder.</p>
 <p>But for now, ey was safe inside, laying in supplies, even if they were simply emotional and intellectual reserves for what ey knew would be a taxing endeavor.</p>
 <p>The only conversation ey&rsquo;d allowed about the entire affair came at night, when the three of them had piled into bed, each in their familiar order but pressed now up against each other, perhaps drawing comfort against the onrushing storm.</p>
-<p>&ldquo;How&rsquo;s it going to feel working alongside True Name instead of against her?&rdquo; Dear&rsquo;s partner asked, voice muffled by a pillow as the fox kneaded at their shoulders.</p>
+<p>&ldquo;How&rsquo;s it going to feel working alongside True Name instead of against her?&rdquo; Dear&rsquo;s partner asked, voice muffled by a pillow as the fox kneaded on their shoulders.</p>
 <p>Codrin replied, voice equally muffled against the back of Dear&rsquo;s neck, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know if I was working against her, necessarily. It felt like it at the time, but now it just feels like we were both doing our jobs.&rdquo;</p>
 <p>&ldquo;You just hated hers.&rdquo;</p>
 <p>Ey laughed against Dear&rsquo;s neck, which got a giggle out of the fox in turn. &ldquo;I guess. It&rsquo;s hard to hate too much because good things came of it, but also you can&rsquo;t say for sure that the same thing would&rsquo;ve happened if she hadn&rsquo;t been there. Her, Jonas, the lot of them, they were all helpful in bringing about Secession and Launch how they happened, but who knows? Maybe they would&rsquo;ve happened regardless, just with different people at the helm.&rdquo;</p>
-<p>There was a long moment of silence, broken only but the occasional noise of contentment from Dear&rsquo;s partner as the fox continued in its back rub. Codrin spent the time plastering those thoughts over with better ones. Ey thought about how the fox smelled, how its fur felt against eir face. Ey thought about how, once, ey&rsquo;d wound up between eir two partners in much the same position and it had led to an overwhelming wave of anxiety, a sense that things were wrong, a feeling that ey needed to escape, and how they&rsquo;d comforted em and then simply fallen back into the habit of laying like this, instead. The fox seemed to draw a sense of security, sandwiched between them, just as Codrin did by having no one at eir back.</p>

 <p><em>&ldquo;Did you hate her?&rdquo;</em> Dear said, breaking the silence and eir rumination. It had stopped in its massage and settled for a simple hug instead. <em>&ldquo;Do you still?&rdquo;</em></p>
 <p>Ey hooked eir chin over the fox&rsquo;s shoulder, humming thoughtfully. &ldquo;Maybe, in a way. I thought I did at the time. I thought I hated that she was part of the hidden level of control that everyone suspects but no one can prove. All she needed was a black suit, black sunglasses, and an earpiece.&rdquo;</p>
 <p>Dear and its partner laughed.</p>
-<p>&ldquo;Now, though, I think resentment is a more accurate word than hate. I resent the feeling of being controlled with no recourse. She may have the brainpower and manpower and analytical skills to read everyone as thoroughly as she did, but I resent how cold she was in actually doing so. I don&rsquo;t dislike the System as it stands after her and Jonas&rsquo;s manipulation, but I resent the cynicism it took to get here. I don&rsquo;t resent being here, but I do resent the phys-side manipulations that led to me being here.&rdquo;</p>

 <p>However, we will need one more representative. It would be vanishingly easy for me or Jonas to pick someone who would be fitting for our enterprises, but why do that when it would potentially be much more interesting to let you pick? It ought to be someone outside the Ode clade or your polycule, but beyond that, I find myself fascinated by the idea that you &mdash; you, who have your feet on the ground and head in the clouds &mdash; might pick someone about whom I know nothing.
