Summary
"You keep finding me, Andomache," Quỳnh says, and it's not a compliment. Nile flinches back, even though the venom wasn't aimed at her.
She's very confused. Quỳnh and Andy knew each other, hundreds of years ago.
Why is Andy coming back from meeting her with bruises?
"I keep looking," Andy says, and she's smiling just a little bit. Nile wishes she could say it was a happy smile. There's something glad about it, but something devastating too. The closest comparison Nile can think of is a wildfire, and the sunrise after it. It's the smile you give when the world has turned to ash, but there is still a world, and you are still standing there in front of it.

Summary
“In modern interpretations of ancient myths and folklore, the figures representing death tend to get a bad name. In Russian folklore however, the most common antagonist was not representative of death, but instead life. Koschei the Deathless, who traded his soul for immortality.
Booker hasn’t been particularly fond of Russia since his first untimely death there, but he thinks they got this one right.”
Or, Booker tries to master both literal and figurative empathy to become a better person, with some help from his friends and the sudden violent reappearance of Quynh.

Summary
Booker meets Nile while she is still mortal. It changes things.
Alternately:
[“Dude, you gotta help me out here,” she said again, “are you…en vie?”
The question made him laugh, which was a terrible idea. He breathed through the sudden roil of nausea and finally looked at the very determined Good Samaritan who had resolved not to leave him in peace.
“I am not dead,” Booker informed her gravely, “not yet.”]
