 I think I understand now why humans kill. Why they nearly destroyed their own planet. I carry your heart. Because they die. But I never will. Do you feel ready? I've been ready. That's not what I asked. God, you don't even have lungs. Are you regretting it now? Regretting what? The child you and Rafael chose to send with me. You do not get to ask me that. I don't know how we're going to do this without him. Is it lonely between calls? As a ship there are endless complexities and a sense of calm. I'm sorry, Mr. Benjamin. I carry your heart. I'm sorry, Rafael. I love her, Rufiella. And her world would be different. I didn't have to make the same mistakes. She would have me to teach her the stories of Earth. Of her parents, Rafael and Jasmina. Who gave everything to give her a better future. I carry your heart. I love you.
