    Summary

    In the end, she takes refuge in a soldier's blunt language, just as she has always done. "I'm dying," she says to Odo.

    He doesn't look surprised. He nods.

    "I've got Grev-Lal's Syndrome," she continues. "It's a neurodegenerative disease, with no known cure. Over the next one to three years, my mind will deteriorate until I don't know who I am anymore. Until I cannot move, or speak. Eventually, even the automatic functions will shut down." Odo's only response is to wrap himself around her even tighter. She thinks whimsically that he must feel stretched-out, like a spring. That maybe this feels even stranger to him than it does to her.

    "Odo," she says, and pulls back so that she can look him in the eyes. "I'm here to ask if you will help me die."

    Summary

    She daydreams about it, sometimes: how her shade of deep red would look on Debbie’s skin. Wonders what would happen if she went up to Debbie, placed her palm on Debbie’s cheek, and leaned in. She gets a possessive thrill out of imagining her color along Debbie’s jaw. Proof that she exists. That she matters to someone.

    In this daydream, she pictures an identical red across her palm: the red that would mark her as Debbie’s, and Debbie’s as hers. The red that would mean they were soulmates.

    She'd do it again, if she had to.
    Of course she would.
    But those had been her favorite earrings.
