    Summary

    “yes!” suletta announces. “i’m saying happy birthday.”

    eri whirrs affirmatively. suletta flinches a little; her ‘whirring affirmatively’ tends to sound an awful lot like the noises from machines she’s been taught to fear. eri was taught the same thing when she was a baby, and now she spends a lot of time wondering if all those sounds she grew up with were more permet ghosts trying to be heard.

    mom laughs. “that’s kind of you.”

    suletta’s eyes light up. for a moment, eri allows herself to imagine a world where both of them get to live, and finds that she vastly prefers this one.

     

    or, eri grows up, and eri doesn't.

    Summary

    “Ah,” her mother says, faint amusement in her tone. “So you are awake.”

    Gripping her under her arms, her mother attempts to set her on her feet, but Suletta tangles her fingers in the fabric beneath her tightly.

    “No,” she says, screwing her eyes up. Her sock-clad toes are just brushing against the floor, until they aren’t, her mother raising her up so one arm is around her shoulders and the other is beneath her bottom. Instead of letting go, she presses her face even closer, into her shoulder, breathing in the scent of her hair— red like hers, although she will not remember that it ever was, later on— as she does so. This is as much a part of her mother as is the smell of the lubricant she uses on Aerial’s joints, Suletta sitting on the floor of the hangar as she watches her work on her sister. The one time she’d attempted to join her family, her mother’s hands had restrained her in a way she’s not accustomed to.

    “You mustn’t go in there,” her mother had said solemnly. Then she’d smiled, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “When you are older. Then you may come inside.”

    Suletta and her mother over the years.
