With over a millennia’s experience in the stars, the Amalgamate, Rüdiger, helps Clarence understand the true wonder and fragility of humanity and mortality.

This is a really moving and thought-provoking piece of short fiction. Stevens somehow effortlessly envelopes the reader in a really dense and layered sci-fi world in just a few short pages. Some very interesting questions about purpose and mortality! Hearing how Clarence and the Amalgamate's stories overlap was fascinating.
