The wings are gone. Her fingers no longer grasp alien wings, nor the barcode the Malnosso put behind her. It's the first thing she realizes as she looks at the tiny village beyond the vast expanse of grass, in front of the mountains that rose in the distance.
She still feels the plastic spot where her neural implants should be. Above where her other barcode remains.
The massive girl doesn't move from her spot, and barely revises her environment as she stares at the straw roofs beyond them. She doesn't look joyous. She looks pensive. They are left to begin anew on a world neither of them knew... but from now on, no one would dictate her fate.
Daisy has finally gotten her freedom. But a friend of hers had been pulled into a world neither of them had wanted.
She has her freedom. And she doesn't know what to do with it.
"There is a village two kilometers beyond. We should keep moving."
