    Summary

    “Name is ♪♫♬♪♪♫. They analyze eridians, and their behaviours. How they live, what they like. They want to do this with Grace, too, like the doctors, but differently. Talk to Grace the Person, not the Human”

    “An anthropologist,” I realize. “I think that’s what you mean." Apparently, he likes my word, because he doesn't push further.

    chat, it was not an anthropologist

     

    or; One would think that not being in a life threatening situation would be enough to start taking life a little more easy. Landing on Erid was supposed to be his happy ending. It's not as simple as that.

    Summary

    “Robot,” Yào calls out. “How long — how long was I asleep?”

    The robot whirrs. “You have been in a medically induced coma for — one hundred — eighty — one — days,” it reports.

    Yào’s not as quick at theoretical maths as Dr. Grace or Ilyukhina, but he’s pretty handy with the normal stuff. One hundred and eighty-one days is … just shy of six months. He runs the numbers again, counts them out slower in his head. It’s the same result.

    It’s not enough time. It’s not nearly enough time. It’s not even enough time to be completely out of their fucking solar system.

    Yào wakes up early.

    Summary

    It's a stage.

    It's hard to tell in its dilapidated state. But he knows, instinctively, that he stands on a stage. Hardwood. Shining, once upon a time, he thinks. It's solid beneath his feet.

    He taps a foot against it. He receives feedback; pressure against his sole, an audible clack in the air.

    What a strange sensation.

    --
    A desperate act to save the circus leads to a haphazard reconstruction of Caine's corrupted code. But something is wrong. Now powerless and flooded with memories that do not belong to him, Caine believes he's another human.

    But if Caine thinks he's a human, and the players are busy trying to stop the circus from complete self-destruction, then who's the one running the show?
