  1. [Supply] Cinder asks, "Maxine, should we bring your ore box onto the shuttle?"
  2. Cinder whispers, "Maxine, should we bring your ore box onto the shuttle?"
  3. [Supply] Maxine Night says, "I have the last couple of chests. Bringing them back to the base with Kero's PKa, then heading back."
  4. [Supply] Maxine Night says, "I'll be there soon."
  5. [Supply] Maxine Night says, "Don't leave without me."
  6. [Supply] Cinder flutters, "Of course."
  7. Cinder whispers, "Of course."
  8. The shrieking wind whips away the last of the ash and falls to its usual murmur. It should be safe to go outside now.
  9. Maxine Night says, "Bring back your crates."
  10. Maxine Night says, "...Huh."
  11. Cinder asks, "Hm?"
  12. Maxine Night says, "Nothing, sorry."
  13. Maxine Night says, "Just... you said 'we' earlier, so I thought Kero was here."
  14. Cinder flutters, "...Oh."
  15. Cinder pauses for a second.
  16. Cinder flutters, "We were speaking of ourselves."
  17. Maxine Night says, "Ow."
  18. Maxine Night asks, "Anyway, like, royal we?"
  19. Cinder flutters, "...No."
  20. Cinder flutters, "We already told Kero this."
  21. Cinder flutters, "I share this body with my three siblings."
  22. Cinder flutters, "We are plural."
  23. Maxine Night blinks, then stays silent for a time.
  24. Maxine Night says, "...Uh... huh."
  25. Maxine Night says, "I've... heard of folks like that. While back. Didn't really run into much myself since I..."
  26. Cinder asks, "This is not a... problem, for you?"
  27. Maxine Night shakes her head.
  28. Maxine Night says, "Whatever, no, it's fine."
  29. Maxine Night says, "Shit's weird anyway. I have no reason to assume you're not four people in one body. You're a giant moth."
  30. Maxine Night says, "There's professional clowns aboard this station."
  31. Maxine Night says, "Well, not right now, but you get me."
  32. Cinder flutters, "Yes, we suppose."
  33. Maxine Night thinks for a moment.
  34. Cinder flutters, "It is not some sort of magic or supernatural thing, if that is what you are wondering."
  35. Maxine Night says, "Sorry if that's, uh, rude. Don't want you to think I'm comparing you all to clowns."
  36. Cinder flutters, "We are neurodivergent. This is just who we are."
  37. Maxine Night nods.
  38. Maxine Night says, "Ditto, bud... buds."
  39. Cinder flutters, "Their names are Frost, Briar, and Flora. We are all pleased to meet you."
  40. Maxine Night says, "...Huh. Well, uh... thanks, I guess. Nice to... meet you."
  41. Maxine Night whispers, "Yeah, we're fine."
  42. Cinder flutters, "We should get Kero's ore box and depart."
  43. Maxine Night nods.
