Chapter 26: Lingering Words
Ylana couldn’t get Myrandia’s words from her mind, even
after they finally left her behind two days later. She couldn’t deny that on some level, even
while this woman’s actions repulsed her, she longed for the simplicity of her
actions, longed for the ease with which she’d taken control of the world around
her.

Nara invited Ylana to once again spend the night in her
room, hoping this would help dispel the unease that Myrandia left behind in her

the floor, talking about all the things that had been hanging over their heads,
and about other things that might help lighten the mood.
During a lull in the conversation, when Nara saw the weight
of Myrandia’s proclamation settling on her shoulders again, she slid an arm
around her and said softly, “Admiring certain aspects of her personality doesn’t
make you a monster like her, and if anything, the fact that you worry about
being like her proves that you’re not.”
