Summary
Taako's first memory went a little something like this.
He was staring up at someone much, much bigger than him. There was a fear flooding the back of his mouth, so thick he could hardly swallow, and this terrified voice in his head. He thought she might be crying, and his first thought was, she shouldn’t ever be so scared. He wasn’t entirely sure how he knew she was a she.
But he knew, before he learned his name, before he learned Lup’s name, before he learned a single thing about the place they were in, the body they shared, all the terrible people he was about to meet, before literally any of that, when it was just him, half-formed, and her, new and brilliant and still-scared: I’m never going to let the world hurt you.
(Or: Taako and Lup are a system of two. Neither of them were expecting the century-long space trip, or the malevolent force hunting them down, or having to ever tell people about the whole there's actually two of us thing. But they're Lup and Taako. Taako and Lup. They'll always have each other.
And also these other goobers they found on the side of the road, or whatever.)

The thing he doesn't want to admit to himself is this: he might have gone through with it – Eden's goals, the change of plans that led to the destruction of Filament Station, all of it – if it weren’t for the way they treated his daemon.

Summary
Even without Convict’s presence, at least Simon knew she wouldn’t be alone down there. She was never alone, what with four alters besides her occupying the brain at all times. She wouldn’t even be surprised if the headcount increased after all that strain.
But for now… they had their jobs to do.
