Center: Callback to chapter 24, where I had Tansy fly all the way to the US only for Miranda to finish the main plot before she got there.

Bottom: Camellia prepares for her first girl-mode night out with her (Girl)Friend With A Car.

Boston.

Miranda: You used the Sigil of Knowledge of Hidden Things — and didn’t even wait until I got there so I could watch?

Camellia: Okay, I know she likes men, and I know she likes women, but what if I get out there and she doesn’t like me?

Reseda: Are you kidding, boss? How could she not? Now go take the lovely lady dancing.
