Summary
A hunt for one runaway Altered Item leads Jesse and Emily to have to deal with an entirely different Altered Item instead, and a short adventure filled with terrible fashion, not-quite-awkward not-quite-flirting, gratuitous physical closeness, and one of the shortest redemption arcs for a rubber duck seen so far.

Summary
Her logical brain, her scientist brain, knows this. But it can’t break through and be rational, be empirical. Not this time. Not when… not when it’s Jesse.
Her hands haven’t stopped shaking since the involuntary scream of a name that was so familiar to her it was basically her own, since the word ripped out of her like her own heart had been cradled in Dylan’s hands, had erupted out of her like the first real thing she’d felt since the lockdown fell.
In a way, she supposes now, in the oppressive near-silence of the room, it was.

Summary
Emily's clipboard clattered to the floor.
The sound it made was enormous. It went on echoing long after it should have stopped. A dozen people in the lobby turned to look towards it, and then they looked past it, and then every one of them forgot how to breathe.
"Help her," Dylan begged, as he clutched Jesse to his chest.

Summary
There’s a soul-deep glimmer of warning behind her closed eyes—they snap open stinging as Jesse wakes with a start, wakes without a sound. Laid out flat on her back and soaked in cold shiver-sweat, she spins into substance from the periphery and inward, halting around the through-and-through void gaping at her chest. When she breathes it's shallow and ragged, uncontrolled, and all the air she takes won’t fill it in. Her hand aches. First finger feels bone-sore from the Service Weapon’s trigger. She chose this.
Jesse wakes from a nightmare. She's not alone.

I keep thinking about the "Another World" sequence and I needed it out of my system/into the world
