The Cortex terminal in Gabriel's home office is displaying the evening's newsfeeds and financial reports. Once again, the primary topic of discussion concerns the continuing reactions-- political, financial, and social-- to the Miranda Plan.

A running capture session in the background is saving and indexing pertinent items to file for later analysis. Gabriel is sitting at his desk, leaning back in his chair as he watches the screen. Occasionally he jots a swift note, reacting to some item or other.

There's still a lot of preparation to be done, after all. The fact that work is also a very welcome distraction from other thoughts at present is beside the point.

It's late in the evening when there's a soft sound at his doorway. Slippered footsteps on carpet.

Regan is there, still pale and drawn, wrapped in a long soft robe.

She's been in River's room, and Simon's. They're still maintained. Just as they were. She's not certain exactly how long it's been.

Her face is slightly damp. Freshly washed. So it's hard to tell if she's been crying.

She has been, of course. But she's composed now.
