After the guests have left, Glass goes back inside to find the nearest spouse. She didn't like to talk about it when Aether was around, however little Aether seemed inclined to actually defend the place, but she really didn't like that world - she's still a little ashy-faced; she hadn't even known her various wished enhancements would let her react to something in that way via any sensory modality and it wasn't a nice surprise.

Not even just metacausality - metacausality lines things up and lets them go, there's reasons for them, layers and layers of reasons, you can pick apart the line of dominoes if you want, find out why this person was here and that one there. On Materia, cause and effect can just - stop - working. It's most likely to do it around certain kinds of entities - half Aether's aura now goes to advertising that she belongs to that class, even though the other half keeps causality behaving around her. It would also do it if you - looked too hard at things. Formed too much of an expectation that it would go on doing as you'd seen it do."

She managed, basically, with - stunted growth of sorts - and now she can go enforce a - a bubble of sanity - but it was so awful to look at."

Sherlock hugs her some more.
"Well, now you do not have to go there again, correct?"

"I don't have to go there, no - I didn't even actually go there before, I just saw it through the door at Milliways - although it should be okay as long as I'm within her aura, and it might be good to get a second less - sickly - look at the place."
