Summary
A novella-length piece picking up during the conversation about their relationship at the end of Burning Shores, as Aloy confirms her feelings for Seyka and they share their first shy kiss.
Instead of saying goodbye, Seyka asks Aloy to stay one more night in a moment of reckless impulse. Aloy reluctantly agrees, and what follows is a bit of slice-of-life as they share stories of their upbringing, a few moments of stolen passion, and Aloy showing Seyka the truth about the The Legacy and the Time of Ashes, helped along by the recordings left behind by Lillian Barnett. As Aloy shows Seyka a view of the past through these windows and helps her untangle the truth from the lies, Seyka is forced to confront her people's beliefs and the damage Londra caused leveraging those lies in ways she never could have imagined. In helping Seyka, Aloy is forced once again to confront her fears of people knowing the truth about her, only this time made all the more intense by the new feelings for Seyka -- feelings that she's never felt before. At least this time she's confiding in someone a bit more compassionate than Sylens.
