[ yeah, the seasons keep dying. ]

I wonder who, then.

Feels like we’re starting to piece together some more information, but… it’s such a slow process compared to what I’m used to from before. In some ways, having people from your previous experiences with you is good. In others, perhaps it creates some boundaries where we didn’t expect them.

[ looks at the rings going feral, looks away. ]

It is slower than at the school as well... Though, as I said, I'm not as well connected.

It seems to me that Harrow and Molly are quite good at figuring things out.

That could be by design. But you're not wrong. Harrow's very intelligent, and Molly's very intuitive. They made a good team back on the station as well.

Mm. But Molly aside, Harrow's pretty young. It'd be kind of shameful to put everything on her shoulders.

I think she would at least verbally eviscerate you if you said that to her face.

I don't doubt that at all.

I'm used to being yelled at.

That's not something to be entirely proud of. But she'd be mad you were belittling her for being younger, whether your intentions were kind or not.

She's more than capable, Claude. And we wouldn't let her do everything on her own.

I never said she wasn't capable, did I? And I don't see how I'm belittling her.

All I said was that it'd be a shame to say that she's capable and leave it all to her.
