Bella goes to bed, happily exhausted. She can make stuff! Not a lot of stuff, not yet, but still. She will be able to solve Brilliance's food problem and if she can figure out how to scale up she will be able to solve the world's food problem.

Bella and her sister do homework at the kitchen table, chatting companionably in half-sentences interpretable only to each other. Eventually Bella does what she deems to be enough, and she puts her schoolbooks back in her bag. "I think I'm gonna go," she tells Lexi.
