Summary
“All I’m saying is, I can tell that story isn’t a silly made-up thing, not entirely, not even mostly. What I can’t tell is whether or not it’s an analogy for something that happened out there, or something that really happened.”
"Of course it really happened."
There was a rat in Misty's swimming pool, that morning before the doomed flight. (A character study of Misty Quigley and her motivations.)

Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

Summary
Carol knows that Zosia’s smiling that eerie smile they can’t get rid of; the reflex-pleasure at taking care of her and working to construct her happiness. Carol hates it less now, can tolerate quite a bit of it, even ask for help on special occasions. It’s a compromise, both their natures must bend for it to work.
___It’s the week of the anniversary of Helen’s death. Carol and Zosia have been companions for over a decade. Carol hasn’t been successful in reversing the merge, and neither has the hivemind in assimilating Carol.
