Ev seemed to have been cursed to lose their family one person at a time for the duration of their now-immortal life. It started with the members of their tribe—clan, mystery cult, whichever—when the Confederation won out. Then Kalei. Then pieces of their squad—the closest thing they had left to a family—and Talis. Then it became other people they knew—Karian Chirrell, Shire Paloran. One by one people would die or go missing. One by one, Ev would fail to save them.    Each and every moment left, once they realized it was happening, became a gift. Each and every person.    And to be honest, they were getting real tired of losing people.
