Summary
Helly had only been able to hate Helena when she was a faraway concept. When their lives were interwoven this way, she couldn’t ignore the way the feeling morphed.
For the first time, Helly was angered by the fact that she didn’t know Helena. In another world, any other set of circumstances, maybe they could have been friends.
If she fucked herself, was she fucking Helena, too?
or: hellyna selfcesting her way through self(?)-hatred

Summary
His fingers wrap around her upper arm again before he can restrain the movement, her eyes startlingly green above the dark smudges of—
“Helly.” She clenches her jaw against whatever dart she was preparing to shoot at his neck, breathes once as if allowing for the strange intimacy of the name he can’t convince himself he’d butcher willingly a second time. “How long has it been since you slept?”

Summary
Kier breathes hot air from his shifting joints around the corner. It smells like sulfur, and when he looks in its direction, the light Kier shines floods the angles of Mark’s face with shadow.

Summary
But she can’t ignore it—can’t ignore the way that the blood rushes in her ears, the increase in her heart rate when he so much as grazes by her, the catch in her breath when he strokes her shoulder with his thumb, crashing her back down to reality. He repeats himself, but his voice is far off in her ears, and she’s elsewhere, grabbing at some semblance of normalcy by trying to pretend that every last thing about this place is hell. She comes up empty.

Summary
Helly R lives to travel. Not in a figurative, worldly, jet-setter way. But, literally. She exists so that her outie does not experience the passage of time on transportation.
So far, her world has been limited to the interior of an eye-wateringly luxurious private jet.
Today, for the first time, Helly has woken up somewhere new.

Or. A snowstorm grounds all flights and there was only one free cabin.

Summary
If she loves Mark, and she does, then feeling some amount of affection for this other version of him makes sense, she tells herself. Yeah, she’s convinced she’d feel something for him in any universe. Even the worst parts. His hands feel and tremble the same way Mark’s do.

One-shot. Helly holds onto the paper ring Dylan made and plans to give to it Mark. His outie encourages it.

Summary
Mark imagines running his fingers beneath her chin; tilting her small head back. The long line of her throat arched, hair pooling down her shoulders; her back. Imagines running his thumb over her skull, slowly digging into their matching wound. Unspool her brain onto the carpet, sift through the tangle of wire and electric current to see what she’s thinking.

Summary
Mark thinks about a mirror, a cubicle, about Helly’s smart mouth. The axis of the world, slipped, some time ago, and the depth of some unknown horizontal. Yesterday he had remembered the words: prime meridian, but had not known who or where it was.

Summary
The realization that she isn’t alone in her own body comes like a gunshot. It’s not like she’d imagined it to be. Not like being possessed by a demon she has to fight and win over. To her horror, she just feels complete. Like a missing piece has been slotted in and she can finally breathe easy.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. This wasn’t the plan. She was supposed to allow Helena into her body to take her over. She couldn’t kill the bitch, so this was the second best option. To consume her mind, take it into her own as the stronger of the two. Another part of her hates it for a completely different reason — there’s an inkling of disgust at herself, like she’s trapped in the walking flesh prison of her captor. Her own body is totally alien to her. The whole ordeal is mortifying.
Helly reintegrates to take over Helena and get rid of her forever. It doesn’t end up working out like that. Mark helps.
