    Summary

    Okay, so the thing was, Gideon had always been shit at plans. She knew that. Everyone knew that, but this--she really didn’t think it would be this hard! Gideon’s voice was like the least memorable thing about her. Bargaining her voice for a well-shaped set of human legs--that really should have worked in her favor.

    Summary

    “I'm done,” announced Gideon. “Let me out.”

    “Out of what?”

    “This!” Gideon waved her hands around to encompass the entire room. “I'm done with this shit! I'm dead and you won't even let me be dead! What's the problem, Nonagesimus? Were you unsatisfied with not having my corpse to play with, so you decide to fuck around with my–with my soul instead?”

    A flicker of guilt passed over Harrow's face. She drew her legs up onto the couch, hugging her knees to her chest. Very quietly, she said, “That was not my intention.”

    Summary

    “Do you,” Harrow said acidly, “perhaps have any idea how to turn the things on? No? Then let me concentrate.”
    “Do I know how to turn things on?” Gideon said, gleeful at the opening. "Why don’t you ask--”
    “By God, Griddle. We are about to turn into a rock of ice and all of us will be dead forever -- and an insipid sex joke is your response?”

    ~~~~~~
    Maybe not the eyes. Harrow couldn’t help thinking of Gideon when she looked into those eyes. And there was no one she wanted to think of less when looking at The Body. But of course, those two stories in Harrow’s life: the dead girl, and the girl who should’ve died were inextricable from each other. They wove a tight, messy knot in Harrow’s ribcage. And it could never come undone.

    ~~~~~

    The Ninth generators fail. Gideon is brought into the Nonagesimus sanctum, so that she does not freeze, where Harrow struggles to prevent the entire house from collapsing. But as Gideon thinks things might soften between them, Harrow lashes back.
