Not…alone…Chet thought. Not alone? No, I wasn’t alone. I’d never been alone. I reached out and found… I’m here, Kimmalyn said in my mind. She didn’t know what was happening, but she’d felt me reaching out in my pain. Spin, I’m here. I’m here. Nedd, on Platform Prime, with command. I’m here. Arturo. I’m here. FM. Spensa? Jorgen. Oh, scud. It’s good to feel your mind. All of them. Even Alanik, Sadie, T-Stall, and Catnip. Kauri and the kitsen. Shiver and Dllllizzzz.
