Summary
“Trust?” Zosia forced a humorless laugh. “That’s a pretty tall order. I don’t know anything about you.”
The woman considered this. She nodded, though it seemed mostly to herself.
“Okay, uh, what do you want to know?”
“To start, your name,” Zosia said. “And then maybe, I don’t know, why you’re here, what you do, a fun fact about yourself, things like that.”
The woman gave her an incredulous look.
“You wanna do fucking icebreakers right now?”
OR
Zosia gets unplurbed, and Carol has to be the guide through this insanity that she wishes she had while being probably madly in love with her.

Summary
Zosia raises an eyebrow. “We never lied to you. I never lied to you.”
“And I didn't either,” Carol says. “But you chose to leave out the truth so you could turn me into something you know I don’t want to be.”
“So what did you do to me then?”
There’s a moment where they just stare at each other, pain mirrored on both of their faces.
or: carol and manousos manage to un-hive zosia. it goes as well as expected.

Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.
