"I didn't realize you'd enrolled Tangent here as well," says Besk, voice perfectly serene, as if they weren't speaking of the other child she'd carried for nine months in her own body, as if the last words she'd ever said to Instance hadn't been if we keep this up, I think I'm going to throw myself off the fucking roof.

For her part Instance's body is wooden, the fold of her arms suddenly awkward and defensive. "It's the best school in the county," she says, voice equally stiff, and in return Besk just hums a single unreadable note and turns her head to the doors as they wait, not quite side by side.
