The wool fell off Maika's eyes long ago; she knew Tuya intimately, the way you're bound to when someone cracked open your chest cavity and burrowed a place for themselves within your very bones, blood, and viscera.

Their moves would have an echo, a ripple effect, in your body (in your life); betrayal became an old ache, disappointment a shadow that had long followed her from a tender age. The wounds they left scabbed over, scarred; but for Maika, herself no longer so tender, duplicity grew tedious, predictable, wearying —no longer remarkable, or worth the hurt; let alone the absolution.
