<p>It had been centuries for her, and yet each felt shorter than the crash to the ground from out of the perilous heights of reality.</p>
<p>"Oh fox."</p>
<p>She cried again/cried again. Sat on the ground again/sat on the ground again. Plucked a dandelion/plucked a dandelion. Again/again. Always twice over.</p>
<p>"Sasha!" She spoke aloud.</p>
<p>"The fuck." Half question this time.</p>
<p>"Sasha, it's Debarre," she said, then, "What the fuck?"</p>
<p>"I'm so sorry. I came as fast as I could. Everything's a fucking mess."</p>
<p>"How long has it been?" she asked herself.</p>
<p>"About sixteen hours. I had to dump a chunk of my savings into a ticket to get here."</p>
<p>She clawed at the ground in something between frustration at terror that a friend's voice was coming from her mouth/from her muzzle. "And...how are you..."</p>
<p>"A mirror rig." The joyous tone of the words clashed against the tears still flowing freely. "We figured it out. Carter figured it out, I mean. She and AwDae bust everything open. Figured out how to rescue the lost, figured out how everyone <em>gets</em> lost in the first place."</p>
<p>She stopped digging at the earth. "AwDae's back?"</p>
<p>"Yes! And the clinic where Cicero is is trying to get him out as well!"</p>
<p>She had to turn toward the bar again to let the shouting echo. The silence was giving her a headache.</p>
<p>Or not. A neck-ache. Something was tearing at the back of the neck/through the fur of her scruff. An ache. A jolt of pain. A ripping. A tearing.</p>
<p>"I'm going to stop mirroring now. This is horrifying," she said to the wood of the bar. She did not know who said the last.</p>
<p>And then, a hand on her shoulder. One of her shoulders. The sensation had her hair/fur stand on end. She turned around, and there was Debarre. The weasel frowned as he looked between the two of her. Looked at Sasha/looked at Michel.</p>
<p>"I...what? Sasha?"</p>
<p>She gritted her teeth/bared her teeth. "I don't know either. What to we do now? How do we get out of this hell?"</p>
<p>Debarre shrugged. "Can you back out?"</p>
<p>She reached. Felt the draft. Smiled beatifically. She passed the field of dandelions. Passed the setting sun, or perhaps he passed her.</p>
<p>And breathed the cool air of an implant clinic.</p>
<p>There, beside her, also sitting up from the recliner and pulling off his headband, was, she supposed, Debarre. Short. Soft. Thinning hair. Ecstatic grin.</p>
<p>"Sasha?" The grin picked up an ironic twist. "Or Michel, I guess. You okay?"</p>
