<p>&ldquo;Good coffee,&rdquo; she said, lifting her cup. &ldquo;Good weather. Good memories. Some of them really good. This place is comforting to me. It is comforting to a good many people. I suspect that those who are out are doing much as we are. They are talking about the difficult things in a place that at least makes them feel a little better.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I suppose it is nicer than moping at home.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;It is, is it not?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Is she talking your ear off, Reed?&rdquo; came a familiar voice from behind us.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Oh, absolutely,&rdquo; Dry Grass replied, turning and leaning up to give Cress a kiss on its cheek. &ldquo;How are you feeling, loves?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Terrible,&rdquo; Tule said cheerfully. &ldquo;All my emotions are wrong. I&rsquo;m jittery and tired and I want to get another few hours of sleep but feel guilty every time I lay down.&rdquo;</p>
<p>I laughed. &ldquo;Yeah, that sounds about right. I keep feeling like I&rsquo;m having the wrong sort of reaction to all of this.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;When was the last true trauma that befell the Marshans?&rdquo; Dry Grass asked, smiling. &ldquo;I imagine it was before you uploaded, yes?&rdquo;</p>
<p>A moment of silence followed.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We have fallen out of the habit of dealing with crises,&rdquo; she continued when we all averted our gazes. &ldquo;Do not be hard on yourselves. We — the Ode clade — have more experience with crises than the vast, vast majority of the System, and even we are reeling. We are struggling to internalize something this big.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Have you lost any?&rdquo; Cress asked, and I thanked it silently for getting to the question before I worked up the courage to do so myself.</p>
<p>Hesitating, Dry Grass&rsquo;s confident mien fell. Eventually, she reached out to take each of her partners by the hand, then nodded to me. &ldquo;Come. Let us walk, yes? We will talk as we hop sims. I have more places full of comforting memories to show you.&rdquo;</p>
<p>((they meet up and talk while sim hopping))</p>
<p>((After Dry Grass leaves, Reed goes to talk with Lily))</p>
