*More* Story.

"We found this on your neck," he said, handing it to me. "Say, now that you’re awake, maybe you could tell us about it." I took it from him, holding it in my hands. It was a star; looked like silver. This... used to be mine, once...

Well first, who said she isn't interested? But seeing as Atya and Marianne said essentially all they know about it, and she's still in no condition to go anywhere, what difference would it make at this moment (and who said I was narrating everything that went on in her mind)? And she woke up knowing she was pregnant like she woke up knowing about V's apartment and so forth. These facts didn't startle her because it was a condition-based set of memories she'd experienced over time. How she got pregnant, however, would have been a specific memory, much easier to forget. With this in mind, does it still not make sense, or does it clarify?

Well, I can understand wanting to have that form and style of poetry, and there's nothing wrong with that. I guess what I wanted to bring up was exactly what I (the reader) was getting in the first couple read-throughs (with my personal preferences interjected, I suppose. But how can poetry really be objective anyway?). As long as you're aware of this, you can certainly write however you like; I certainly didn't expect you to take every single byte canonically.

And I certainly don't mind a third. I'll do my best to let you know *exactly* what's on my mind with regards to it. As for Saturday, yes. I think we need to take even *more* time than usual if we're talking as well as writing and recording. In fact, there's always that jog we were meaning to do...

Well, for one, her patterns of memory aren't *supposed* to be in the story, because it's not even something she herself necessarily understands (so, I've given you an outside perspective of what she's going through, which maybe I should have held off on). I suppose I could put in more about how she's feeling about finding things out.. *shrug* It's funny, you telling *me* to be clearer about things.

Anyway, good. Saturday it will be.
