She remembers (the mines, the cat, her parents, their joy when she was accepted, the plants in the windows to help with the fumes from the mines, the warmth of her mother's hug in the morning while making pancakes).

She remembers (vats, orders, not caring or knowing how to, understanding what she was about to do but oh, how she hadn't ever really known, how she hadn't understood).

She remembers being alive, for a moment, and then the being who was almost a person named Sharon Valerii is gone.
