Summary
Worried about being turned against her will after the Hive steals her eggs, Carol finds a way to undo the joining for Zosia with Manousos’s help.
What she doesn’t know is that the real Zosia had already killed before and was serving a life sentence in a prison in Morocco.
Now facing withdrawal from the happiness hormones released by the virus and the trauma of a long history of abuse, Zosia will need Carol’s help to be saved once again.

Zosia raises an eyebrow. “We never lied to you. I never lied to you.”
“And I didn't either,” Carol says. “But you chose to leave out the truth so you could turn me into something you know I don’t want to be.”

There’s a moment where they just stare at each other, pain mirrored on both of their faces.

Summary
Even now, days later, she hears the buzzing. The frequency of the hive. When Zosia was joined, her head was full to the brim. It was a feeling larger than self, it couldn’t be described really. Now, she’s empty and the empty space in her head would vibrate, as if calling out for mercy. Calling for rescue from the hive. And Zosia would try to push the sound away.
or; Zosia gets unmerged/unhived and has to comes to terms with it.
