Summary
“Certainly,” she nods. “They would step in and whisk her away from the public eye before she could alarm anyone.”
And supplant her with another voice in the choir, yes, he knew the protocol well. All of them were replaceable in the Family, from the heads all the way to the boots on the ground. A glorious whole, one it was far too easy to get lost in.
Maybe she reads the old dread off his face. Her eyes are steady pools as she stares at him with a knowingness you could drown in, her voice low. “That's what it takes to fuel the Dreamscape, isn't it? Some people have to sacrifice themselves to keep the fantasy going.” There’s a pointedness to it that traps his heart somewhere in his throat.
Written for Kyrie Eleison: A Sunday Zine.

Summary
“You’re not a bird, Sunday,” Mr Yang breaks the silence. Sunday’s eyes flick to him just in time to see him shake his head, his brow furrowed. “Nor are you flightless.”
“Aren’t I?” he retorts. It’s too late to back out now that he’s started the conversation, now that he’s laying himself bare in front of the one person he respects most on this train. “What is it that differentiates me from an injured dove, Mr. Yang? My body might be fine, but to say the same of my mind –”
“You’re not an injured dove either,” Mr. Yang cuts in, firm. Final. His gaze lifts from the tea, eyes blazing with something Sunday can’t name. “And even if you were, you would’ve gotten better with help.”
Or: Five times Sunday floundered while trying to find his place on the Astral Express and the one time he felt right at home.
