Summary
“We’re not so different,” Pearl said. She meant their powers—the ability to see beyond normal human comprehension—but Marina could sense the electrical signals in her own brain sometimes, and they were basically identical. Her small fist bumped into Marina’s arm. “When can I see your face, huh?”
Marina swallowed. The edges of her mask cut into her cheeks. “Not yet.”

Summary
Her driver is idling on the street, consumed by his phone, and he doesn’t notice Pearl until she snaps the door shut.
“She’s not home?” he asks, angling the rearview mirror down to see her, then hisses when he sees her red, splotchy face. “I’m sorry.”
“Let’s just go,” Pearl grumbles, crossing her arms over her chest and leaning her head back. She has the beginning of a headache.
She leaves the roses behind.

Summary
“You want to siren me?” Marina asks, quiet.
Pearl closes her eyes. Now she’s gone and done it. “I don’t want to— I just think it might help. For a sec.”
“Mm…” Marina hums, processing. “You’d just help me relax?”
Pearl shrugs, staring down at the mole on Marina’s face. “Yeah..."
Marina smiles, soft and gentle, face smoothing from its worried pull into something more relaxed. “I trust you, Pearlie. If you think it’ll help… Let’s do it.”
