    Summary

    It had been one year, two months and some change since Noa parted with Mae. But who’s counting? Noa is definitely not.

    On the cusp of his pairing ceremony with Soona, Noa receives a word that a small group of humans have been trapped, possibly killed, in a scouting mission at the Valley.

    But why should Noa care? What is it to him?

    Everything, he realizes.

    The girl who has the cosmos in her eyes is everything to him.

    Summary

    It's been a short time of both peace and grief for Noa and Mae, worlds away from one another. She's safe, yet still traumatized by everything she's lost. He's learning how to manage leadership duties, yet still grappling with new responsibilities…and now the impacts of one fateful decision will draw them back together. Fear, joy, and plenty of struggles lie ahead, along with the faintest trace of hope for the new life that, against all odds, they've created.

    Summary

    He thinks of her womb, and his seed and a child growing to bridge the genes and differences, to balance the gap and to unite them into oneness and he yearns. (or Mae and Noa, post the film).

    Summary

    When he thought of her, he saw vast meadows and hills, mountains and distant lands. He saw human ruins hiding mysteries or great discoveries, images printed on papers as if they could capture the soul of those who had created them, strange and terribly powerful weapons or thousands of words hidden in unintelligible symbols that seemed to conceal the truth of the world. Through her memory, Noa felt he could go beyond the limits of his village, that he was riding a horse again and venturing into the unknown, that beyond looking at the stars, he could dive headfirst into them.

    Summary

    In sleep, he was himself again. No hard carapace piercing through bone, no skin peeling off the muscle, just as pink and doughy as any human ought to be.

    It was the other body, the one that moved above him, that slid slowly down his soft flesh and made him moan, that was the one made of hard plates and clicking mandibles and strong, stony green limbs.
