"I cannot, and never was able to." In that moment, Mae saw something for the first time. When Envoy spoke, there was no movement under his mask.

Mae stared into the distance.

There was a moment of silence.

"I feel as if I have not ever lived. And yet, simultaneously as if I've lived a million lives and more."

"I... might know that feeling better than you'd guess." He again looked up at the sky.

"But what of it? I have learned nothing, yet I have learned too much. I have seen only days and nights alike, but then again I've seen everything. I can speak of nothing, write of everything. I know far more than I'd like, but enough to know that I know nothing, really."

He looked her in the eyes. "There is value in your self perception. Nothing about that is too different from other people, but understanding it in yourself is good, if... difficult."

"I cannot stay here. I cannot stay with him, and I cannot stay with you. I have a ticket, I leave tomorrow evening. To where, I will not say. Regardless if I have a month or a year, I am starting anew, with none of my past behind me. And if my child is born, let my life never influence theirs. And let us go far far away, where no one can find us."

She paused for a moment.

"But fear not, though I will not contact anyone, my sister will know where I am."

For the briefest moment, something new flashed in Envoy's eyes, unmistakable and intense. Fear. It was gone in an instant, but it was there. "I... imagine I cannot convince you to do otherwise. I hope it will be best for you."

"Can't you guess? This. All of this. This life. These people. This place. My family, my title, my situation. All of it. I want to be someone else entirely, in the little time I have left."
