  Summary

  “The Ares wasn’t just a tool…this Skell was always leading the way. Guiding us…where we’re needed.”
  “Needed? Here?”

  Elma and Al share their final heart-to-heart on Mira. As they reflect on everything they’ve lost—and everything they’ve found—Elma finally begins to understand the meaning behind it all. She spent so long chasing what she thought she wanted…only to discover what she needed had been beside her all along.
