Summary
If she came to him in a state of panic then it would mean showing her hand, if she inspected the laboratory while distracted it could lead to missing a vital detail. She had to be composed. She wouldn’t be able to compose herself properly until she calmed down, which would mean a release of tension was needed.
Harrow drags Gideon back to their room after the Avulsion trial, finding herself at the whims of her errant and necromantic body. She's familiar with her particular deficiencies and tendencies, enough that she knows exactly how to calm herself down: Gideon's sweat-soaked cloak helps.

Summary
“Understand that once you do this, you can’t take it back. It’s better to die. There’s a power to dying clean … dying free. It’s not love, what you’re about to do. It’s not beautiful and it’s not powerful. It’s a mistake. We didn’t even do it right … we were children—playing with the reflections of stars in a pool of water … thinking it was space.”
The story of a mistake: neither beautiful nor powerful—dying dirty and together. A luckless night at a shitty bar, and the ascension of the Third Saint to serve the King Undying; how the woman that would become Pyrrha Dve met the man on fire.

Summary
“—and I wanna hear more about William,” Rachel finishes. Her hand withdraws from Chloe’s face and moves to join her other one on Chloe’s forearm. The expression on her face shifts once again, growing to resemble when Bongo used to sit and stare at her to beg for attention.
“Alright, alright, fine. Anything in particular?”
A few moments pass befoe Rachel finally speaks. When she does, her cadence is off, as if the question stumbled out before her brain could catch up, something Chloe is oh so familiar with. It’s strange hearing Rachel’s tone resembling her own in that way. “Would he have liked me?”

Summary

Summary
Max threw an arm around Dana’s shoulder and pulled her in closer. “I’m sorry, I just... I don’t know what to say,” she said.
“You, you don’t need to say anything, okay?” Dana drew in a shaky breath that gave way to a cough that sounded suspiciously like a sob, and Max’s heart clenched at the sound. “This is enough. Being here with you is enough, because you’re all I need right now.”
The silence between them wasn’t tense, it was just a comforting lull in conversation. Dana focused on the sound of Max’s breathing, trying to match its tempo and get herself to calm down, but it didn’t work. She knew she wouldn’t be calm until she said what was on her mind.

Summary
“That’s, um, not what I meant.” Max went an even more luminescent shade of red than before as Rachel punctuates the remark with a suggestive wink, but keeps her composure as she speaks. “Our chariot awaits us outside, fair lady.”
The anxious energy radiating off Max is obvious, as is the thinly-veiled enthusiasm. Whatever Max has planned, it’ll be worth going along with just for the sake of seeing her try to play at being the mysterious and charming one for once.

Summary
Sleeping on the floor made the nightmares worse – Rivers of crimson spilling onto bathroom tiles, needles biting into the soft flesh of her neck, fierce winds tearing apart buildings like tissue paper, a girl with her own face and voice taunting her in a diner surrounded by all those she would damn to death if she chose to make the selfish choice, a rotted body forgotten under the dirt being finally exposed to the light of day, all the ways the girl she loved could be torn apart by a cruelly uncaring world – somehow the nightmares managed to hurt less than the dreams did.

Summary
Kate's beaming smile at that was like a ray of sun that shone brighter than the studio lights, and Victoria quickly raised the viewfinder to her eye and took a shot on pure impulse.
It captured Kate in an unguarded moment. All the obvious tension she had around her family was completely absent as she unabashedly sat there, grinning broadly at Victoria just behind the camera.
Kate pouted, "Hey, I wasn't ready for that picture!"
She looks up at Kate and shrugs, "Well, I was. It's a good photo."

Summary
Rachel perks up as she eyes Max curiously with a raised eyebrow, "Max, can't you drive?"
"When have you ever seen me drive a car before, Rachel?"
Chloe snorts, earning an annoyed glance from Rachel.
"What? She's got a point! She hasn't stopped mooching off me for free rides since she got back here," A beat passes as Chloe seems to contemplate it. "Come to think of it, you've been doing it since I got the truck!"

Summary
The smile playing across Rachel's face fades, and she looks thoughtful for a moment. Her gaze settles on a small group of wood chairs a few feet away, sitting in a space unoccupied by any other junk.
She turns to Chloe, a playful smirk now plastered on her face. "How much wood do you think we'd need to get a good fire going?"
Visions of burning trees and ash raining from the sky come to Chloe's mind as soon as she hears Rachel speak the words 'fire'. Uh-oh.
"Rachel, I'm not going to answer that question because I'm not a pyromaniac and the last time we ended up burning something it caused a wildfire."
_____________________
A Vortex Club party doesn't go so well, and Rachel wants some stress relief. What better way to let off steam than burning some junk?

Summary
Rachel has never been the type to struggle for words.
Words have always come easy to her - whether it be those that she strings together to be accompanied with a simple tilt of the head and a flirtatious smile to charm others, or the flowery language that makes up the monologues found in the many scripts she has studied.It's difficult for her to admit that Max Caulfield is one of the few people she has met who challenges this fundamental aspect of herself.
