I came to find you last night, " Lena says more quietly. "When I knew there was going to be a raid.. I snuck out. I was there when–when the regulators came. I barely made it out. Alex helped me. We hid in a shed until they were gone.." I close my eyes and reopen them. I remember wiggling into the damp earth, bumping my hip against the window. I remember standing, and seeing the dark forms of bodies lying like shadows in the grass, and the sharp geometry of a small she shed, nestled in the trees. Lena was there. It was almost unimaginable." I can't believe that. I can't believe you snuck out during a raid–for me." My throat feels thick again, and I will myself not to start crying. For a moment I am overwhelmed by a feeling so huge and strange, I have no name for it: It surges over the guilt and the shock and the envy; it plunges a hand into the deepest part of myself and roots me to Lena. .
