It sounds smug, but Lisa doesn't care: She loves being the boss.
Would she trade stress for something less inconvenient? Sure. But the thing is, she loves her inconvenient things. She loves the challenges and the hardships, and overcoming them as hard as she can. It's a rush. Lisa isn't immune to rushes.
Not that she wouldn't mind skipping a problem from time to time, though. Like right now.
"In my defense," House starts, and for a moment Lisa doesn't want to hear it. But the challenge calls, irresistible like cake, and in the end Lisa can't help but answer.
Dreams, Chiana had learned, were for lesser creatures. She thought that was frelling unfair.
So when she and Nerri left the Nebari Prime, Chiana dreamed. She dreamed of space and worlds that were nothing like the one she knew, and she was amazed. Nebari Prime had always been small, but Chiana never knew how small. It didn't even compare.
There was much to dream about, but dreams belonged to the mind only, and Chiana had spent enough time in her head already. The universe existed to be lived in, and Chiana wanted to see every star there was to see.
Debra was five years old and she wasn't supposed say fuck, but she had found her father's gun. She was supposed to walk away and pretend it hadn't happened, but instead she reached out and touched the barrel, and the steel felt nice. She kept thinking about how nice it felt after she left.
It took her a while to seek the gun out again, but she did, and kept doing it. It took her a longer while actually pull the trigger, but when she did, she knew she would do that again too, and love it every time.
After the world is saved, Priya returns to the house.
Fresh starts are elsewhere, so Priya is not staying; she just has few things to pick. Adelle has come for a different reason.
"I need to check my garden," Adelle says, walking off. Priya watches the tension in Adelle's shoulders before entering the house.
When Priya comes out Adelle is still working in the garden, going through her plants for anything ripe. When Adelle is done she has a napkin full of berries and red eyes.
"Shall we go?" Adelle asks, voice cracking. Priya nods, and pretends not to notice.
