<p>Ioan and Douglas collected plates and coffee cups, then the three of them trooped out into the field while May spoke.</p>

<p>“We have lost May One Day Death Itself Not Die and I Do Not Know. Death Itself stopped talking, and then she stopped moving. Bathe In Dreams visited for a while there, and a few days ago asked me to come visit as well. That is why this spell seemed to last longer than usual. Evening hit, she smiled at us, shrugged, and then quit.”</p>

<p>May’s voice was thick as she continued. “They all lived in the same house, did you know that? All ten of that stanza. Many of them did not even talk with each other, and none of them ever forked. They were always quite unstable. The next morning, I Do Not Know was gone, and Names Of The Dead said that she had quit shortly before sunrise.”</p>

<p>Ioan and Douglas remained quiet as they walked. The skunk didn’t seem to be quiet done saying the things that she needed to.</p>

<p>She continued after a few minutes of mastering emotions, voice clear once more. “Bathe In Dreams and I talked quite a bit. She said that there have been fewer instances of instability in older clades than expected, given <em>On the Perils of Memory</em>. Fewer uploads are susceptible to the long-term effects of unceasing memory than expected, I guess. I was pleased to see that Debarre seems to be doing well.”</p>

<p>“That’s heartening,” Douglas said. “At least in a way.”</p>
|
||||
<p>The skunk nodded. “I am happy that the System is more stable than feared, but I am unhappy that we seem so strongly affected. Bathe In Dreams said that she is going to do some research and see if there are ways that we can at least improve on the way we deal with the effects. I do not know that there is a way to get rid of them entirely, at least not without further individuation, but the least we can do is help keep ourselves sane for longer.”</p>
