<p>&ldquo;Why didn&rsquo;t you tell me?&rdquo;</p>
<p>She winked. &ldquo;A story such as ours deserves a grand conclusion, does it not?&rdquo;</p>
<p>He laughed. It sounded manic even to his own ears, crazed. &ldquo;Tell me everything! I need to know about you, about her, about&ndash;&ldquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Patience, patience!&rdquo; May Then My Name ducked one of his waving hands, laughing as well. &ldquo;We have all the time in the world, my dear, and today is a day for many celebrations. You will learn all about us, cousin. You will learn about me and her, about individuation and cladal dynamics. I am as much a relation to her than you are.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Patience, patience!&rdquo; May Then My Name ducked one of his waving hands, laughing as well. &ldquo;We have all the time in the world, my dear, and today is a day for many celebrations. You will learn all about us, cousin. You will learn about me and her, about individuation and intracladal dynamics.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He nodded. All that she was saying was swirling around in his mind, wrapped up in the strange, fluent-yet-stilted language that he&rsquo;d gotten used to over text but now had to get used to in person. He couldn&rsquo;t tell if he was ecstatic at the news, mad at her, or simply overwhelmed, but so earnest was May then My Name&rsquo;s expression that any heat of anger quickly cooled.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Everything feels like it needs to be done in such a rush, though,&rdquo; he admitted. &ldquo;Like if I don&rsquo;t do it right now I&rsquo;m going to explode. You really look like her? Exactly? And you as a skunk?&rdquo;</p>

<p>May Then My Name&mdash;the one that looked like Michelle&mdash;smirked and disappeared, having apparently quit, leaving the still giggling skunk to help Douglas up.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Later, I promise.&rdquo; She pulled him over to the picnic blanket with her so that she could sit next to him. She tasked Ioan with setting up the food while they talked. &ldquo;Douglas, my dear, what are you most excited about, now that you have uploaded?&rdquo; she asked earnestly, paw resting on his knee.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Well, I was going to say meeting you two, but now that that&rsquo;s over, I guess getting to know you. Like, actually know you, instead of just chatting over text. Getting to know the System, too. I spent years imagining how it worked in here, and now that I&rsquo;m here, I&rsquo;m a little overwhelmed with how little of that feels accurate.&rdquo;</p>
