    Ky and Tadaaki woke early. They usually did so they could be ready for whatever tasks Aleth had for them when he woke up — and last night had had ...

    (Works for me! I don't think Ky or Tadaaki will talk, either. Next morning?)

    Ky watched him go a few steps. The stairs weren't going to go well. She cringed a bit at the thought and shut the door. That was one of the ...

    Ky had almost made it back to her cot when Loquitur appeared again. She blinked at him. She wasn't quite sure what was happening. Clearly, Alex must have given Loquitur ...

    "I'm sorry," Ky murmured again, taking a few steps away from the bed. She was absolutely right. Ky couldn't fix anything about any of this. She didn't even understand it. ...

    "I'm sorry," Ky said softly, pushing herself the rest of the way to her feet, then immediately wondering why she'd done so, since now she was standing awkwardly by the ...

    "I know," Ky answered softly. In reality, she didn't really understand much of what had happened. Loquitur had seemed far too cheery for the fact that his daughter was lying ...

    Ky couldn't breathe. She looked at Tadaaki desperately, but then realized he couldn't help. She pushed herself to her knees so that they were closer to being on the same ...

    Ky was relieved that the attention was off her again, but now she was feeling like a very small, stupid child, sitting on the floor. She closed the book and ...

    "Good, thank you," she murmured. Should she stand? Should she be sitting by Lyra's bedside to begin with? Maybe this was a bad idea. Lyra hadn't asked her to stop ...

    Ky hesitated, keeping her finger on the page. Her gaze flicked from Loquitur to Lyra, then to Tadaaki, wishing he could tell her what to do. She knew that he ...

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
