“If she could stay in orbit for the rest of her life all would be well. It’s only when she goes back that her mother is dead; as in musical chairs when there’s one fewer seat than there are humans who need it, but so long as the music plays the number is immaterial and everyone is still in the game. You have to not stop. You have to keep moving.” ❤️
