>>5304268Regardless of whatever suspicion or trepidation keeps the majority silent, an unspoken kindness takes hold of the crowd. You watch as nearly a hundred Daughters—most younger than Rath and with some skirting Orwell’s age—allow the youngest among them to go first. They solemnly converse with your allies, looking as inspired by them as you are, most days. You can see the looks on some Daughters’ faces as they wrestle with concerns and fears they dare not voice, but slowly, surely, their tension dissolves as they come to understand.
This is a safe place, with good people. Lost people, hurt people…but people, all the same.
Sooner than you expected, you’re sitting down with your family around a pile of biomass, the Dream Daughters distilled into ruby crystals tucked into Francine’s coat, while the meat is a featureless mass of scarlet flesh. It’s easier like this for you and yours, though for many of the girls here who haven’t had the time to acclimate, it’s only marginally better than staring at a corpse.
You’re eye-level with the crowd, this time; no elevation to separate you from them. A host of eyes are on you, and countless more that you can’t meet—you try to put the Skinternet out of your mind for now as you focus on the task at hand.
Your family’s waiting on you, but you hesitate as you stare down at the biomass before you. An Amalgam, two Hunger-mad souls…and fifty-two Daughters who would’ve rather clung to the Crucible’s doctrine than human decency. You gave them a choice, and while some ran, some stood their ground. Defiant ‘til the last. So are you, hellbound and determined to make something new, some kind of world worth living and thriving in.
So you reach out, to the bodies of those who stood by hatred and spite…
…and with your family by your side, you grasp the power to build something that’s far stronger than either.
