Hate.

It is burning through her shoulders, frustration grinding her teeth together even as she tries to breath out, even as she tries to rationalise it all to herself. She’s been practising for this endlessly, it would be useless to cop out at the last second. To make a final statement of irritation and rebellion when there is no one who would be at her back.

But the flower behind her ear is irritating her skin, so she pulls it out, drops it to the floor, grinds it with her heel, a sharp smile painting her face. She’s tempted to continue, to change from the mockery of an outfit, to her practise clothes, to wipe her face clean of makeup, to try and find some way to corrupt the audio, when she spots Lincoln looking at her.

She’s not nervous. That’s not the right word. Anxious? Frustrated? 

Adrenaline is thrumming through her stomach and the beats of the song are passing through her head, her hands are dusted with chalk. She’s ready. 

She doesn’t want to do this.

But she knows she must. Knows the punishment, knows the futility of refusing. Even for such a claim as hating the song, hating the audience, hating the flower that she had crushed underfoot.

But there is Nian, face impassive, but this is her last chance. Her only chance. (And how she hates having to ask) Quietly, she goes to tap him on the shoulder, the puts her hands together and looks up at him with desperation in her eyes. 

“Nian. Please don’t make me do this. I’ll dance, just not poi, just not the fire. I can’t. Not in this imitation of a costume, to this music. Please.”

The train has nearly arrived at Paris. It’ll still be a day, but for now, the train is idling, silent under the bright moonlight. It nearly washes out the stars, the resplendent canopy of them that can only be seen when in between places, when floating apart from the rest of the world.

Ata catches a glimpse of them through her window, and decides that tonight isn’t going to be for sleeping. At least, not yet. Instead, she goes to knock on Lenny’s door, wonders if the two of them could go sit on the roof together. (Midnight is much better than sunrise) But she’s not there, so Ata heads to the ladder herself, steps out from the insulated warmth of the train and catches the faint tones of someone singing.

It tears at her heart, the melancholy notes drifting into hearing, and she swears its the sound of the moonbeams themselves.
