    Summary

    "Ellora will not suffer at the hands of your lies, Jae—"

    "Stop!"

    Jae whips his head around as the doors open, with Datu catching his breath. Did he run all the way here from his post? The Council had transportation and he did not. What in Ellora's name is Datu— Jae's eyes widen and his soul twists into knots.

    "Datu," Jae's voice is merely a desperate whispering plea as his boyfriend rushes forth. "Datu don't, what are you doing—"

    "I wish to confess something to the Elloran Council!… I am the one protecting the Avatar.”

    Or: To protect Jae from being persecuted as the traitor who has been conspiring against Ellora with the Avatar, Datu claims it was him. The punishment is something Jae had not prepared for.

    Summary

    Occasionally, an Eridian will develop a telepathic connection with the person who is meant to be the most important person in their life. This connection works across any distance, at least on the scale of one planet. It doesn’t seem to work between star systems. Still, alone at Tau Ceti, Rocky calls out to Adrian, hoping for an answer. Someone answers, but it isn’t Adrian.

    It’s an alien child, living on a world unaffected by Astrophage. A child from a world with no concept of telepathic bonds, who is soon convinced that the voice in their mind isn’t real, and refuses to communicate. After many attempts to get the child to respond again, Rocky gives up, and resigns themself to being alone.

    And then, after a long time, the child, now grown to maturity for their species, speaks to them again. The Astrophage has arrived at their world, confirming that Rocky’s voice in their mind is real. They’re very, very scared.
