Summary
They ended up cross legged on the bed in the guest room, Nikita swaddled in his hoodie and drinking obediently from a bottle Sidney’d filled up in the bathroom. He sat up against the headboard with his dæmon perched next to his ear, while Sidney lay on his back and his own soul curled at the foot of the bed. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d talked about this. People never really asked, always assumed it was too personal or a sore point. But he was nearly forty, he’d- well. If not gotten over it, he could identify other things about his childhood that troubled him more.
Sidney's dæmon settled famously early, and now Geno's son's has done the same.

Summary
Crosby, lingering nearby, gave Zhenya a tentative smile. They were all smiling, everyone in the room, looking at Zhenya and Crosby and dreaming big dreams, the same dreams that had pried Zhenya out of Magnitogorsk and launched him halfway around the world. Zhenya knew what was expected of him, him and Crosby together, and why not? Why couldn’t they?
“Yes,” he said in English, watching Crosby’s face, and saw the moment when Crosby’s smile turned real.

Summary
"Goddamn, Sid,” his dad says softly from behind him. “When Mario said they'd definitely find someone to keep up with you, I didn't think they'd literally make someone to keep up with you.”
Sid's throat clicks as he tries to answer. “The program never works,” he says. “I'll just be waiting a year longer.”
Where the Penguins can't find a player to match Sid, so they opt to grow one from scratch instead.
