Summary
Right there, in the clearing, was the woman.
She was surrounded by Nevrons, all murmuring at the sight of her presence. And as they approach, she turns around--
The woman had a striking resemblance to Maelle."My, My...They were right. You do have my eyes."
The woman cradled Maelle's face as if it were the most precious thing in the world.
In that moment, Maelle found herself wanting to stay there. In the warmth of this stranger who gazed at her with cold eyes, yet was filled with so much love.Series

Summary
Clervie divides her life into two. She is too young for having a divided life. Most people would laugh at her about it. But if they would simply give her a chance to explain, they would understand.
They would weep with understanding.
For Clervie there is life before The Dream. And there is life after The Dream. The Dream is its own thing, its own being, deserving of capitalizations and pronouns and all.
And it was only one singular dream that bifurcated Clervie’s life so cleanly. That was all it took.
Before The Dream there were fields and flowers, there was Mother’s lips against her hair and Mother’s fingers tickling her under the chin as she was called a little egg. Before The Dream was Clervie with her little sickle cutting grass and the beautiful room of mirrors and windows where Mother taught Clervie to dance with steel.
And then, The Dream.
