"Would you believe me if I told you that Trench was actually much better than the place that came before?" It was funny to think that Sabé and many of Ariadne's other friends didn't know Deerington. Perhaps that was an effect of the multiverse, but Ariadne found herself attaching to people quickly, integrating them into the fabric of her life.

Maybe she needed to stop doing that.

Losing Dean had ripped her apart.

On the other hand, Alastrians were pack animals. She needed that connection. She needed others...

It was all a great big contradiction!

"Deerington was...much harder. Especially Octobers. Those were the absolute worst."
